Conditional Formatting - Formula to fill cell using %
Using Excel 2007, I have dollar values in columns A, B and C. C=B-A. I
would like to highlight the cells in column C red if the cell value is greater than 5% of the value in column A. Here is my formula, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? The formatting highlights every cell, regardless of it's value. =$C$2($A$2*0.05) |

Get rid of your absolute references (the $'s). Then try it again. HTH. "sbres" wrote: Using Excel 2007, I have dollar values in columns A, B and C. C=B-A.
