    conditional formatting once row values hit 50%

    Hello. Is there a way I can conditional format rows (with 13 cells across columns) so that once it hits a running 50%, it turns blue? The 13 values cells = 100% and each row is a %. So 1st cell is 5.8%, 2nd 3.2% etc.

    Use a formula to define the formatting condition

    Formula =SUM(A$1:A1) >0.5
    Applies to =$A:$A

    But I just want the 1st value that hits the 50% mark, nothing afterwards.

    Assuming that you have a header row, this might work

    =AND(SUM(A$2:A2) >=0.5,SUM(A1:A$2) <0.5)

    Can you post a SMALL sample file and show us what result you expect?

    A SMALL file will have about 20 rows worth of data.

    A SMALL file in xlsx format will be about 9kb in size. We don't want files that have 1000's of rows and dozens of columns worth of data! Remember, it's a SAMPLE file!

    P.S.

    Sorry about the rant!
