Default Conditional Formatting by percent range

Windows XP Pro SP3
Excel 2007

Suppose cells A1:A10 contain integer values. Now suppose cells B1:B10
also contain integer values. I'd like to conditionally format the
values in column B so that if the value in column B is greater than
100% of the value in column A then the B cell is shaded red. If the
value in column B is greater than or equal to 75% but less than 100%
of the value in column A then the B cell is shaded yellow. If the
value in column B is less than 75% of the value in column A then the B
cell is shaded green. Is this possible?

A B
=============
20 18 <-- shaded yellow
50 10 <-- shaded green
75 81 <-- shaded red

Thumbs up Answer: Conditional Formatting by percent range

Yes, this is possible using conditional formatting in Excel 2007. Here are the steps to achieve this:
  1. Select the cells in column B that you want to apply the conditional formatting to (in this case, B1:B10).
  2. Go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon and click on "Conditional Formatting" in the "Styles" group.
  3. Select "New Rule" from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box, select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format".
  5. In the "Format values where this formula is true" field, enter the following formula for shading red:
    Formula:
    =$B1$A1 
  6. Click on the "Format" button and select the "Fill" tab. Choose the red color and click "OK".
  7. Click "OK" again to close the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 for the yellow and green shading, using the following formulas:
    1. Yellow:
      Formula:
      =AND($B1=$A1*0.75,$B1<$A1
    2. Green:
      Formula:
      =$B1<$A1*0.75 
  9. For the yellow and green shading, choose the appropriate colors in the "Fill" tab of the "Format Cells" dialog box.

Your cells in column B should now be shaded according to the rules you specified.

You can use the Conditional Formatting feature.

Click in target cell (B1), then click FormatConditional Formatting.

Under Condition 1 have 'Cell Values Is', then 'greater than', then =B2, then
click the Format button and on the Patterns tab select the red shade, and
click OK.

Back at the Conditional Formatting dialogue, click Add and a Condition 2
set of boxes appear. Set these to 'Cell Value Is', between, =0.75*B2, and
=B2, then select the yellow shading.

Add again and set Condition 3 as 'Cell Value Is', less than, =0.75*B2,
then select the green shading, and OK twice.

Finally copy cell B1 (Ctrl + C), then highlight cells B2:B10, right click,
select Paste SpecialFormats.

That should do it.

Regards,

Tom

Default Conditional Formatting by percent range

I have something similar to the question above. Instead of have multiple cells changing, I have one cell changing based on a percentage of another cell:

A1= if B1
======================
100 =100 or (-+)10% <-- shaded green
100 Between (-+)10% and (-+)20% <-- shaded yellow
100 greater that (-+)20% <-- shaded red
