Adding percentages in a column and automatic formating of contents
I have a column of percentages that need to be added. At the bottom of the
column I am showing the total which may be between 1 to 1000%. Is it possible to have a formula so I can color code cells adding up to a certain value to be a different color. The idea is to show the cells that add up to 100% (when added from top to bottom) in a different color. -- ftp |
Take a look at conditional formatting under

I have looked at conditional formatting and it may have what I need but am
unable to figure it out. My goal is to have all the cells adding up to 100% formatted differently and any additional cells over 100% in the same column to keep the original formatting. I am only wanting to show one total which will be the overall for the column and listed at the bottom.

If your %s start in cell A2 and go downward from there--
1) highlight the entire range and make sure A2 is the active cell 2) FormatConditional Formatting 3) Formula is 4) =sum(A$2:a2)<=1 5) click on Format button 6) set the format attributes you want 7) OK your way back to the worksheet "FTP" wrote: I have looked at conditional formatting and it may have what I need but am unable to figure it out.
