    Reference Line Percentage tolerance

    Hi,

    I have a X, Y, chart that has a reference line generated from a range of cell values. when I input a second range of values, I would like to display a pass/fail message box if this second range is within or exceeds 10 percent of the reference line.
    Can this be done with VBA or is there another way of doing it?
    I only have a basic knowledge of excel so I may need walking through this.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    See attched example file - it is done just with conditional formatting and chart title referring to a cell.
    Change value in F11 to be closer to referebce line - say 34. Notice that conditional formatting of cell in column H disappears and how changes chart title.

    Hi, sorry for the late response, we just had a bank holiday weekend.

    Thanks for the example, I think this is what I'm looking for. My chart is quite complex but I think I can apply the same principles to it as you have demonstrated, I'll let you know how I get on.
