Hi Folks,

I have two columns that calculate out to be percentages. I'd like to
compare one against the other and color the cell based on a +/- 10%.

ei; A1 = 90% B1 = 100%

-since A1 is - 10% of B1, then color cell A1 font color Red.

**

ei; A1 = 100% B1 = 90%

-since A1 is + 10% of B1, then color cell A1 cell color Yellow.

I'm not sure if I can do this with straight up conditional formatting or if
I need this to run in some sort of code?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

TIA!

Hi Stephen

You can do it with CF
Formula Is =(A1-B1)A1=10% format Red
Formula Is =(A1-B1)/A1<=-10% format Yellow

Perfect... that's exactly what I was missing.

Thank you both!

Hi Stephen,
Highlight the column and apply conditional formating,

I figured that much but my problem is I'm stuck on the formula.

thanks!

Hi Stephen,
I assume that in cell C1 you have the formula =(B1/A1)-1, what gives you the
lets say 0.10
Then Highlight the column and go to conditional formating and choose to
highlight with green if the values are greater or equal to 0.10 and with
yelow if they are less than 0.10

For multiple recipienets, pass an array each element of which is one
recipient. E.g,

"," ")
