    URGENT! Very simple conditional formatting / data validation...can't figure it out!

    I have a cell where I need this to happen:

    • If inputted value is < 0, do not allow
    • If inputted value is less than ten (eg: 2) show as percentage (eg: 2%)
    • If inputted value is greater than 10, show as a number (eg: 1,250)

    I cannot figure this out for the life of me.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    for the DV use aA1>0
    I dont think you can do the % with DV, because if you enter a whole number into a cell, say 5, that will actually be 500%. You will probably need to do a calc in a helper cell and try CF onthat
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    But even if I do something simple like this:

    Conditional Format 1
    =A1*100<10
    ...make it a percentage

    It NEVER works. Not sure why.

    Figured it out:

    Custom Number Format:
    [<=10]0\%;[>10]0

    CF does just that - it changes the FORMAT of a cell. Formatting is not data, it is cosmetic, it cannot change the underlying contents of a cell, only how they display
