    JamieGilmore The problem is that your formula in column R for Total % Used is:

    =IF(P3=0,"0%",P3/O3)

    which mean your 0% is not a number but rather text.  Why don't you just use =P3/O3

    If you can't for some reason (and I don't know why so tell me because maybe that is something else that should be fixed), then in the conditional formatting you could add a check ISNUMBER($R3)  so it would look like:

    =($R3>=101%)*ISNUMBER($R3)
