What of if I applied a conditional format in $E7 to highlight all cells in column E, less than 50, red. Which is working perfectly. I also want to format a another cell above or on top of E7 to indicate that there's a cell that meet my first condition. How do I do it?

countifs($E$7:$E$1000,"<"&50,$E$7:$E$1000,"<>")>0
i think this is what you meant
if any cell between E7 and E1000 - adjust the rows

$E$6 - Change, reduce or extend the rows to meet your data range of rows

Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:
countifs($E$7:$E$1000,"<"&50,$E$7:$E$1000,"<>")>0
Format [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
OK >> OK
A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.
This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.
MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC
then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share
I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed
Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone
