Conditional formatting, 3 text options

Is there any way to set conditional formatting rules for a whole table based on text fields?

 

I have looked and can only create conditional formatting rules that are based off numbers. This is a snippet of the table. I would need yes values to be highlighted green, in transit light green, and no in Red. 


Would i need to create a number column for each? If so, how would i do that? 

 

Thanks!
