    Conditional Format an Entire Column based on percentage of another Column

    I want the cells in the entire column to change color based on the column next to it.
    For example if the cells in column N are less than Column O then I want N to change to red, if it is equal or greater by up to 10% I want them to be light green, if it is greater than 10% I want it to be light green.

    Maybe this...

    Conditional Formatting
    • Highlight applicable range >> N2:N100
    • Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
    • New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
    • Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true: =O2+(O2*0.1)
    • Format… [Number, Font, Border, Fill] >> Green
    • OK >> OK

    Now add two more new rules:

    =N2>O2+(O2*0.1) >> Light Green
    =$N2<$O2 >> Red

    In that order
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff
