# Configuring rules

You can create conditional formatting rules based on if conditions. To create a rule, select the ***New rule*** option from the menu. The Conditional Formatting side pane opens on selecting this option. 

### Creating comparisons

You can create custom comparisons using the dropdowns in the **If** section.

**ii)** The second dropdown lists the equality conditions like Greater than, Less than, Greater than or equal to, Is between, or Not equal to.

**iii)** The third dropdown has different comparison options:

* Number: You can create numeric comparisons that compare a measure/dimension with a threshold value.
