List format question, with an either/or scenario

[alandarr]

1) I have a column that is set for numbers, shown as a percentage.

I'm trying to format the column where if I type into the field "100", it would color the field red and if I type "0", it would color the field green.

Seems simple, but I'm not having much luck.

2) I also have other columns where a user can insert text, but only one answer gets a filed color of green and all others get a field color of red.

I've looked at json examples, but as usual, no example is ever close to what I need.

Many thanks!

@alandarr just looking at your question 1 for the moment you can do this with the following JSON column formatting. In this example if the value you enter is less than or equal to 10% then it puts the background green, if it's between 11 and 50% then it's orange, otherwise it's dark red:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "=toString(@currentField * 100) + '%'",
  "style": {
    "border": "none",
    "padding-left": "14px",
    "background-color": "=if(@currentField <= 0.1,'#468259', if(@currentField > 0.1 && @currentField <= 0.5,'#d8a810', '#c00000'))",
    "color": "white"
  }
}

Which gives the following result:

I hope that gives you what you need.

@alandarr the JSON for your second question is more simple. In this example if the user enters the text Chris then the background is green, otherwise it's red:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "style": {
    "border": "none",
    "padding-left": "14px",
    "background-color": "=if(@currentField == 'Chris', '#468259', '#c00000')",
    "color": "white"
  }
}

and the result is:
