1) Select dataset (without header)
2) Format ~ Conditional Formatting
3) Rules as "Custom formula is"
4) =$C5>=LARGE($C$5:$C$30,$C$2)
5) DONE

Lets breakdown this formula

=$C5: This refers to the value in cell C5. The $ sign before the column letter (C) ensures that when you copy the formula to other cells horizontally, the column reference remains fixed while the row can change.

>=: This is a comparison operator that stands for "greater than or equal to." It checks if the value on the left is greater than or equal to the value on the right.

LARGE($C$5:$C$30, $C$2): This function calculates the nth largest value from a range of cells. In this case, it's looking for the value in cell C2 (which should be a number indicating the 'n' value) in the range C5 to C30.

So, the formula is comparing whether the value in cell C5 is greater than or equal to the nth largest value in the range C5:C30, where 'n' is specified in cell C2. If the value in C5 satisfies this condition, the formula will return TRUE; otherwise, it will return FALSE.
