    Conditional formatting based on % in other cell

    Hello,
    I want to color format a cell based on a percentage value in another cell but I just can't get my head around how to solve it. I've attached a file that explains it better.

    E.g.
    The formatting for A1 should be something like:
    If A2 is
    > +/- 10% RED
    +/- 6-10% YELLOW
    +/- 5% GREEN

    Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Why do you post again the same question. You have already a suggestion in your other thread without to reply to that..

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...ther-cell.html

    So this is a duplicated thread.

    Hi,

    There has been some database issues I think, so it looks like my post has been posted twice. I will disregard this one and focus on the other one. Thanks Fotis1991!

    Yes, correct. The A1 and A2 was just examples.

    Thanks!

    I am not sure if this is the 'thread' to consider as final one ...
