Conditional Formating Formula

I have two columns with numbers.

 

If the number in B column is higher than the number in A column highlight the cell green

If the number in B column is lower than the number in A column highlight the cell red

If the number in B column is within 10% of the number in A column highlight the cell yellow

 

What formula would you use?

 

Thank you!

  • Hi daniel315 

     

    you would need 3 rules for conditional formatting:

    Yellow: =AND(B1>=A1*0,9;B1<=A1*1,1)

    Red:  =B1<A1

    Green:  =B1>A1

     

    Depending on your regional settings it might be that you need to replace the first formula like this:

    =AND(B1>=A1*0.9,B1<=A1*1.1)

  • Hi daniel315 

     

    Just about point 3, you mean if B bigger or small than A within %10.

    You need to do three rules in the following order, because there will overlap within the %10

    =AND((B1>=A1*0.9),(B1<=A1*1.1))        (yellow)

    =B1>A1    (green)

    =B1<A1    (red)

      Martin_Weiss  I could use your expertise with an Excel conditional formatting issue. I want to highlight a row in blue if the value in cell L867 remains "Not contacted yet" for 40 minutes. The L column has a dropdown list, and I'm a bit stuck on the formula. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks a bunch!

        Hi Frank1060 

         

        it's not completely clear to me, what the exact rules should be for your formatting. When you say: "not yet contacted" for 40 minutes:

        40 minutes related to what exactly? To a certain record in the list? Which one?

         

        I also propose to put your question in a complete new thread, so it gets more attention by other users.

         

        Cheers,

        Martin
