Win Rate Percentage Conditional Formatting

Hello,

 

I am trying to use conditional formatting for a win rate percentage column as follows:

 

win rate less than or equal to 50 then fill cell red

 

win rate is greater than 50 then fill cell green

 

I can’t seem to get anything to work properly.  As I enter new wins or losses the win rate percentage changes but the color fill stays the original color from the first win or loss entry.

Thanks,

 

Kent

    Thanks! Since column F contains a percentage, the conditional rules should use percentages too. Instead of coloring a cell green if its value is greater than 50, you should color it if its value is greater than 50%.

    Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?

      Hi Hans,

       

      I am attaching the link to my template file on Google Drive.  I have entered some generic data to demonstrate what is happening.  The file is for tracking my options trading and tracking wins/losses and win percentage, etc.

       

      The "Annual Total" tab is where I am having issues.  Column F is where the fill is not correcting as the "Win Percentage" number changes from the data entered in "Week 1", "Week 2", etc. tabs.

      Take a look and let me know what you think.

       

      Thanks again for your help.
