Default 'if then' color changes.......................

I am trying to change the color of the text(numeric value) in a cell if it
meets certain criteria.

Example: A1= average of B1:H1

The values in B1:H1 will turn Blue if 5% < than A1
The values in B1:H1 will turn Red if 5% < than A1

A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 H1
441 425 374 478 422 446 456 488
(RED) (BLUE)
(BLUE)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try it like this ..

Select B1:H1 (B1 active),
then apply the CF using Formula Is:

Condition 1
=B1$A1*1.05
Format Blue fill

Condition 2
=B1<$A1*0.95
Format Red Fill
Ok out

I will try that, but I didn't mention I am using 2003, not 2007, will that
make a difference?
