Very nice work around Roger!

Thank you very much for taking the time to review my spreadsheet, and thanks
for reporting this to Microsoft.

Best,

Hi Chip

File received and returned to you.

There does appear to be a bug when using icon sets and using percentage
values, especially when there are negative percentages.
Changing the criteria to Numbers and using decimal equivalents of the
percentage values gets round the problem and produces the desired result.

I used 0.1 in 1st box, Number in second
0 in 3rd box and Number in 4th

Values above 10% show Green arrow pointing upward, between 0% and 10% Yellow
arrow horizontal and negative percentages show Red arrow pointing downward.

Thanks for your reply Roger. Unfortunately, that's exactly how the
settings
are too.

This is the only conditional formatting rule in the spreadsheet, too.

Best,

Works fine for me.
Mark the cells againConditional FormattingManage RulesEdit
and check the values again to ensure it has got
= in first box, 10 in second box, percent in 3rd box
= in 4th box, 1 in 5th box, percent in 6th box

No option for setting the final values, but is should show as when <1
for
the Red down arrow.

I'm having a problem with conditional formatting in an Excel 2007
pivot
table.

The spreadsheet has a calculated field column which is the %
difference in
revenue from one month to the next. After I select the cells in that
column
and make a new formatting rule for Icon Sets, the arrows/colors are
not
lining up with the values in the Rule Description.

Here are the rules:

Green (up arrow) when value is = 10 Percent
Yellow (sideways arrow) when <10 and = 1 Percent
Red (down arrow) when < 1

After I apply the rule, everything is green. From 250% through -150%,
every
arrow is green and pointing up.

Thanks for your help.
