Excel: Conditionally formatting each cell based on its own value

I have a column of different percentages, and I want to apply conditional formatting to all of them.

I would like for each cell to be formatted based on its own value, not relative to the remaining cells.

For example, A1 has 50% and A2 has 75%. If I just used the standard conditional formatting (e.g. data bars), then Excel formats them relative to each other, i.e. A1 would have a data bar of 0, and A2 would have a data bar of 100.

However I want A1 to have a data bar of 50, and A2 to have a data bar of 75.
