    Question Conditional Formatting not working!

    excel_003.jpg

    Simple: I just want the value in B1 to be green anytime it's greater than or equal to 50.0%, and red if it's less than 50.0%. I've applied the conditional formatting as shown, but it's just showing red no matter what, even if I manually change it to a value higher than 50.

    Can someone help?

    Percentages in Excel are decimal values from 0 to 1 (0 being 0% and 1 being 100%).

    In this case, 50 would be seen as 5000%, so in your C.F. formula set those to 0.50 (50%) and you should be good to go.
