Conditional Formatting

How to set the above when
50% (100/200) is in the cell and you only want the colour to change in another cell by reading the %, i.e. the 50% being the main figure against the target of 100%.

RE: Conditional Formatting

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your question.

Click into the relevant cell and go to Format and then Conditional Formatting.

Choose Formula is and enter = followed by the cell reference containing the % amount. Follow that by an equals sign and finally enter the value you want the cell to be tested against.

e.g. Formula is =c2=50%

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Apply currency format quickly in Excel

To quickly apply the currency format to cell in your spreadsheet, select (highlight) the cells you wish to apply currency format to, then use Ctrl + Shift + $

This will apply a pounds symbol even though the $ key is pressed.
