Default Formula Question

Hi Rob

Use Format - Conditional Format,
Cell Value is greater than 2.5 (or % depending on format) and add another
condition to less than 2.5, and set the format you would like to appear.

Hope it helps.

Use Format=Conditional Formatting

Assumes data is in columns A to D and Price DROPS i.e new price =old price -
Retro (Retro is NOT +/- to indicate increase/decrease). If Retro can indicate
a price increase as well as decrease, you need a different formula (which you
can work out from the one below!).

Highlight column C :

FormulaIs:

=AND($C1<"",($D1/$B1)=0.25)

and set "Pattern" to your required colour
