conditional formatting formula help please

I need some assistance trying to figure out how to do a conditional formatting based on a partial string of information in a cell.

 

data strings to be conditionally formatted

 

  This is an image of what I'm working on. I'd like the conditional formatting to find any cells that are 96.00% or higher, AFTER the "/", and then change the cell's color.

 

If you guys know of a formula or formatting that can do that I'd really appreciate the help. I've been racking my brain for almost a month to make this happen.

 

Much gratitude.

  • you need to setup your conditional formatting using this formula in the criteria

     

    so simply select the column lets say column A and then go to conditional formatting and put this below formula.

     

    =((RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("/",A1,1)))+0)>0.96

     

    please download and open the attached example which I uploaded here.

      Jamil Mohammad, thank you so much!

      This is exactly what I was trying to create, but for some reason my formula was falling apart. This is working perfectly now. I'm so grateful
