Here’s a bit of a push:

    oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    Book = oExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents\Test2.xlsx")
    Sheet = Book.Worksheets(1)
    SourceRange = Sheet.Range("A1:A" & Sheet.Range("A1").End(Excel.XlDirection.xlDown).Row)
    DestRange = Sheet.Range("D1:D" & Sheet.Range("D1").End(Excel.XlDirection.xlDown).Row)

The meat of it is this part, where you take the format conditions from one range and add it to the other. This assumes there is only one criterion for formatting. More than one would require that you would step over all of them (I think there are up to 3) by using SourceRange.FormatConditions(i) in a loop from 1 to SourceRange.FormatConditions.Count

    DestRange.FormatConditions.Add(Excel.XlFormatConditionType.xlCellValue, SourceRange.FormatConditions(1).Operator, SourceRange.FormatConditions(1).Formula1)
    DestRange.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = SourceRange.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex
