sheet.Range["A2"].NumberFormat = "0%";
sheet.Range["A3"].NumberValue = 0.5;
sheet.Range["A3"].NumberFormat = "0%";
sheet.Range["A4"].NumberValue = 0.1;
sheet.Range["A4"].NumberFormat = "0%";
sheet.Range["A5"].NumberValue = 0.9;
sheet.Range["A5"].NumberFormat = "0%";
sheet.Range["A6"].NumberValue = 0.7;
sheet.Range["A6"].NumberFormat = "0%";
sheet.Range["A7"].NumberValue = 0.6;

Step 3: Set the height of row and width of column for Excel cell range.

sheet.AllocatedRange.RowHeight = 20;
sheet.AllocatedRange.ColumnWidth = 25;

Step 4: Add a conditional formatting of cell range and set its type to CellValue.

ConditionalFormatWrapper format1 = sheet.Range.ConditionalFormats.AddCondition(); 
format1.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.CellValue;
format1.FirstFormula = "300";
format1.Operator = ComparisonOperatorType.Less;
format1.FontColor = Color.Black;
format1.BackColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;

ConditionalFormatWrapper format = sheet.AllocatedRange.ConditionalFormats.AddCondition();
format.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.IconSet;
