{parameters}
{param:comparisonType}A [Condition] constant representing the type of comparison Excel will use when comparing a cell value to the result of the parameter {{formula}}.   The comparison type must require only one formula and may be set to one of the following values: [Condition.Comparison.FormulaEvaluates|Condition.Comparison#FormulaEvaluates], [Condition.Comparison.CellValueLessThan|Condition.Comparison#CellValueLessThan], [Condition.Comparison.CellValueGreaterThan|Condition.Comparison#CellValueGreaterThan], [Condition.Comparison.CellValueLessThanOrEqualTo|Condition.Comparison#CellValueLessThanOrEqualTo], [Condition.Comparison.CellValueGreaterThanOrEqualTo|Condition.Comparison#CellValueGreaterThanOrEqualTo], [Condition.Comparison.CellValueEqualTo|Condition.Comparison#CellValueEqualTo], or [Condition.Comparison.CellValueNotEqualTo|Condition.Comparison#CellValueNotEqualTo].
{param}
{param:formula}The result of this formula will be compared to each cell value in the set of cells associated with the conditional format.{param}
{returns}A [Condition|Condition] object representing the condition created.{returns}
