Default format number custom want some values in red

I think Mike may have been confused. Try changing his custom formatting to
[Red][<1]0%;[Black]0%

Hi Mike,
It almost worked. But the custom formula changes my numbers. It turns
all
of the numbers red and reverts back to decimal form. For example 125%
becomes 1.25,
65% becomes .65.

I'd really like 125% in black and 65% in red. Thanks very much for your
help. Is there anything else you think I could try?

PLs let me know.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi.
I have a spreadsheet showing percents. Some are over 100%, some are
less
than 100%. Say for example, 125% and 65%.
Can you please tell me how I can make a custom number format to make
the
percentages less than 100% show up as red? So 125% would remain black
but
65% would turn red, for example.

This is a bit urgent. Your help is greatly appreciated.
