Final answer:
To create a conditional formatting rule for highlighting the top five values in a range with a specific color in Excel, select the range, use the 'Top/Bottom Rules' option, adjust the number to 5, and set the formatting to the desired color.
Step-by-step explanation:
To create a new conditional formatting rule in Excel for the range B4:B15 that highlights the top five values with a Green, Accent 6 cell background color, follow these steps:
Select the range B4:B15.
Go to the 'Home' tab.
Click on 'Conditional Formatting' in the Styles group.
Choose 'Top/Bottom Rules' and then 'Top 10 Items...'
In the Top 10 Items dialog box, change 10 to 5, because you want to highlight the top five values.
Click on the 'Format' button to set the color.
In the 'Format Cells' dialog, go to the Fill tab.
Select the Green, Accent 6 color (last color option in the top row of colors).
Click 'OK' to close the 'Format Cells' dialog.
Click 'OK' again to close the 'Top 10 Items' dialog box and apply the formatting rule.
The top five values in the range B4:B15 will now be highlighted with the specified color.
