Format certain rows where a cell value meets a condition when exporting from VB.NET (DataGridView) to Excel

Question

I am new to VB syntax, and im struggling with adding conditions to an excel export. I have a dataset (ds2) that populates a DataGridView (dgvBreaks).The data in the dataset will look something like this:

Emp_Name	ClockDate	Time_In	Time_Out	Total_Hours	Actual_Hours	Breaks	Notes
Moloto, Joseph	04/04/2022 00:00	07:36:00	06:42:00	5,8	4,60	2	Clocked out on: 2022-04-05 -
Moloto, Joseph	04/05/2022 00:00	07:22:00	07:22:00	9,2	9,00	1
Moloto, Joseph	04/06/2022 00:00	07:40:00	16:31:00	8,9	8,80	0
Moloto, Joseph	04/07/2022 00:00	07:25:00	16:29:00	9,1	9,00	0
Moloto, Joseph	04/08/2022 00:00	07:34:00	15:35:00	8,0	8,90	0
Moloto, Joseph	04/11/2022 00:00	07:42:00	16:33:00	8,9	8,80	0

I want to export the data from the gridview or dataset to excel and format certain rows based on a cell value. FOR EXAMPLE: Highlight a row in red if the Actual hours is less than 8. so that this row would be in red:

Emp_Name	ClockDate	Time_In	Time_Out	Total_Hours	Actual_Hours	Breaks	Notes
Moloto, Joseph	04/04/2022 00:00	07:36:00	06:42:00	5,8	4,60	2	Clocked out on: 2022-04-05 -

Currently I export the data to an excel sheet using the code below:

    Dim xlApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
    Dim xlWorkBook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
    Dim xlWorkSheet As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet
    Dim misValue As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim j As Integer
    xlApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
    xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(misValue)
    xlWorkSheet = xlWorkBook.Sheets("sheet1")
    For i = 0 To dgvDataBreaks.RowCount - 2
        For j = 0 To dgvDataBreaks.ColumnCount - 1
            For k As Integer = 1 To dgvDataBreaks.Columns.Count
                xlWorkSheet.Cells(1, k) = dgvDataBreaks.Columns(k - 1).HeaderText
                xlWorkSheet.Cells(i + 2, j + 1) = dgvDataBreaks(j, i).Value.ToString()
            Next
        Next
    Next
    Dim path As SaveFileDialog = New SaveFileDialog
    path.ShowDialog()
    If DialogResult.OK Then
        xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(path.FileName)
    End If
    xlWorkBook.Close()
    xlApp.Quit()
    releaseObject(xlApp)
    releaseObject(xlWorkBook)
    releaseObject(xlWorkSheet)
    MsgBox("You can find the file at: " + path.FileName)

But I am not sure how to add the conditional check. (How would I check only the 'Actual Hours' for instace?)

As JohnG stated in the comments, it is quite simple:

xlWorkSheet.Range(xlWorkSheet.Cells(i + 2, 1), xlWorkSheet.Cells(i + 2, 8)).Interior.Color = ColorTranslator.ToOle(Color.Red)
