    Post Why is my conditional formatting not working?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to use data bars via conditional formatting on percentage data, however the data bars display incorrect information.

    The example sheet will explain it better than that sentence.

    The data bars are working correct as set up.

    They assign the total percentage (100) across the cells which contain a value to add up to 100%

    So A1 has 0.0830564784053156
    A2 has 2
    A3 has 1

    Total number is 3.0830564784053156

    So B1 = 3% of the total
    B2 = 65%
    B3 = 32%

    Are you hoping that as your value is 2% you will only show 2% fill in that cell? As opposed to a data bar across the range?
