    Hi,

    What have you tried the conditional Format. You can use the straighforward "cell value" "Less than" and enter 50%

    Seems the today bit is irrelevant.

    Re: Conditional formatting using formular

    I couldn't understand your requirement as you have not explained it well enough even your attached sheet does not match your description in the post#1.
    But if you want to highlight the cell B2 red when it is less than 50%, you may try this.....

    Select B2 --> Conditional Formatting --> New Rule --> Use a formula to determine which cells to format --> in the formula box, paste the formula given below --> Format --> format as per your choice --> OK

    Is this what you are trying to achieve?

    Today is the big factor for me.
    Like
    =(B2<50%,Today()) but this is not working for me

    The 50% is relation as of today. That DATA in B2 is updated daily.

    Hi,

    Your request is not clear - at least to me. You seem to want to use Today's date in some way in order to make some sort of decision about B4 (or perhaps B2), which implies you want to compare today's date to some other date.

    Please clarify with some specific examples which explain what your data says and what results you expect to see.
