    Conditional Formatting using Percentage Variance

    Trying to complete conditional formatting across a range of cells comparing actual to plan

    Here are the following rules I would like to use:

    Plan - A1
    Actual - B1

    ((B1-A1)/B1)

    If actual percentage variance is <=0 fill B1 green
    If actual percentage variance is >=0 <=0.05 fill B1 yellow
    If actual percentage variance is >0.05 color fill B1 red

    If you can help it would be appreciated.

    Conditional Format B1:
    If actual percentage variance is <=0 fill B1 green ---> =ROUND((B1-A1)/B1,2)<0
    If actual percentage variance is >=0 <=0.05 fill B1 yellow ---> =AND((B1-A1)/B1>=0,ROUND((B1-A1)/B1,2)<=0.05)
    If actual percentage variance is >0.05 color fill B1 red ---> =ROUND((B1-A1)/B1,2)>0.05

    Thanks Ben that worked. Can you tell me how to extend it across a range of cells (12 months)?
