The above instructions do not seem to be working. I am trying to color
code by 1st-2nd-3rd and 4th quartile. So, if the investment is in the
top 25%, I want it to be green. If it is in the 25%-50% range, I want
it to be yellow. So on and so forth.

However, I followed the instructions from Microsoft.

The first condition: Cell value is less than or equal to 1st-- green
fill.
2nd condition: Cell value is between 1st and 3rd-- yellow fill.
3rd condition: Cell value is between 2nd and 4th-- orange fill.
With all cells still highlighted, fill red.

When I input data that puts it in the 3rd quartile, the fill is staying
yellow. It should switch to orange. What am I doing wrong?


Your conditional statements overlap.
