    Evaluate Multiple Data Points Against Single Criteria

    Hello All. I'm trying to create a formula that looks at 20 different percentages and if any of them are greater than a single value placed in another cell, returns a message "Warning". I'm attaching a workbook with the sample data. I can't get Excel to evaluate all the values.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    In B3, Font size 36, I typed WARNING! and then changed font color to white.
    Then with B3, I did conditional Formatting> Formula>
    =MAX($B$5:$F$9)>$I$5
    Formatting the font color to black.
    Does that work for you?
    Alternately, you could use a formula
    =IF(MAX($B$5:$F$9)>$I$5,"WARNING!","")

    You mean?

    =IF(COUNTIF(B5:F9,">"&I5),"Warning","")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
