I can use conditional formatting on A1:A10 such that if any number falls
below 5 the cell goes blue while any cell with value baove 12 is red. All
without helper columns.
Tell us what you would wish to do.

a      -- red
a      -- red(same color above because col1 doesn't
change(a(above,current row)
b      -- blue(change color because col1 changes a(above) to b(current row)
b      -- blue(same color above because col1 doesn't
change(b(above,current row)
b      -- blue(same color above because col1 doesn't
change(b(above,current row)

Experiment with:
Formula Is =AND(A2=A1,A2=A3)  format Blue
best wishes
