Hi'
Let's say these results are in c1 to C10. Select those cells and then Format|Conditional format - Select 'Formula is' from the dropdown and enter the formula =C1=0.8 Click the 'Format'button and select Amber Ok Click add and repeat the above but this time use the formula =C1=1 and pick Green The formula will 'adjust' for the other cells you have selected. I have assumed E2003. The process is slightly different for e2007 but the formula are the same -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

er......duhr..... still havent susssed it....... I think I tried what you
suggested but it turns all the figures green... Heres what im trying....... "A" column has out targets..... "C" is what we actually achieved...... A C 100 120 (so this would be green cos more than target) 62 21 ( red - cos well below) 80 66 (amber cos nearly there) 500 519 (green - above target) 100 60 (red cos well below) I hope this sort of makes sense Thanks again Dave "Mike H" wrote in message ...

Using Conditional Format, try this: Click Add to enter the 2nd and 3rd
conditions. Condition 1 Formula is: =c1/a1<0.8 Format Color Red Condition 2 Formula is: =c1/a1<1 Format Color Yellow Condition 3 Formula is: =c1/a1=1 Format Color Green Select the entire range in the single column that you want the colors to appear in. You only have to enter the format information one time and it will automatically fromat the relative cells. If you want all the columns of data colored, then select the entire range when you renter the formulas and formatting. "DB" wrote in message ... er......duhr..... still havent susssed it.......
