Hi All,

I am pretty sure this can be done, but l cant seem to get the syntax
right!

I would like to create a custom format that displays the cell value as
a % but if the % 100% or < 100% then **** is displayed.

I thought it would go something like this:

[100%]["****"]0.0%;[<100%]["***"](0.0%)

Can anybody give me the correct syntax please?

If this cannot be done as above can l achieve the same result by
conditional formatting and if so how?

All ideas greatfully received

Regards

Michael Beckinsale

[<1]"****";0.0%

Based on your description, you only want to show the number if it's exactly
100%.
