Excel 2007 conditional formating using 3 traffic lights on percent
I cannot seem to get the conditional formatting to work on values created in
percentages using a formula. I have copied the values over to the next column and used the number function and it seems to work ok but each time I change it to percent the function doesn't give the same traffic light colours! example below works OK but if I change the Number to Percentage then it doesn't: GREEN: = 75 (Number) AMBER: = 70 (Number) RED: <70 (Number) It's driving me nuts!! -- Deb |

You need to understand what number is being stored. 75% is not the same as
75. 75% is 0.75. You need to compare like with like. -- David Biddulph "Deb Hodges" .(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Please consider percentage is a decimal less than 1. 75 would be 7500
percent, 75% is equal to .75 Deb Hodges wrote: I cannot seem to get the conditional formatting to work on values created in percentages using a formula.
