    Format Cell Based on another cell value (Percent)

    Hi, I hope someone can help me.

    My sheet has the following details:

    Project 1 > Budget > Billed
    Project 2 > Budget > Billed
    Project 3 > Budget > Billed

    I'm trying to format it in such a way that if Project 2 already exceeds 80% billed of the budget, it will highlight the cell in a certain color, and the other projects remain without highlight.

    I attached a picture to help you understand me better

    Thank you everyone!

    This can be accomplished with Conditional Formatting. Here is a link on how you should do this.

    Hi, Alansidman,

    Thank you for your prompt response. I've been trying to do that but it really won't fill the cell.

    I don't know if there's something wrong with my formula.

    I used this:

    =($A$2/$B$2)>=0.8
