I take it you've entered 0/35/70 manually into the 'Value' boxes? Instead, do the following:
Minimum: Type 'Lowest Value'
Value '0' (manually entered)
Midpoint: Type 'Percentile'
Value '50'
Maximum: Type 'Highest Value'
Value '=$E$14'
$E$14 is selected by clicking the symbol at the right of the box with the little red arrow, clicking on E14, then clicking the symbol again. The $ symbols mean that the reference won't change if you copy/drag the formatting to another cell. If you want it to always refer to column E, but the row to change as you copy/drag it up/down, then change it to $E14.
