A higher rule always wins when working with  multiple conditional formatting rules in Excel . This example illustrates two different results.

Result:

2. Move the second rule up. The value 95 is the highest value (Top 1) but is also higher than 80. The formats (green fill vs yellow fill and green text color vs yellow text color) conflict. A higher rule always wins. As a result, the value 95 is colored green.
