The Data can then be set to be:

Once you have set the previous criteria, you have to set the Minimum and Maximum amounts. For this, you can either select a range of data within your worksheet, or you can simply input numbers [select a list of data for the List option; select a start and end date for the Date and Time options; select a formula for the Custom option].
