    Question How to custom a cellformat to give color to % values as i need to?

    Heres my question:

    I have a list of porcentage results, what i want to achive is that any value under 15% would color it self in red, and the ones over the 15% to stay in black.

    Same happens to me in another list where i have accounting results, i would need also that anything over $30,000,000.00 would color itself in red, anything under that to stay in black,

    It would be amazing to get help on this

    YurekJ, welcome to the forum.

    Select the range your results are in --> Conditional Formatting --> Highlight Cells rule --> Less Than, select 15, format as required.

    Hope this helps.
    Brendan.

    You don't type most of that. If you look towards the top of your Excel window, there is a row of options and tabs across the top of it - this is what's known as the Ribbon. On the Home tab of the ribbon, just over halfway across (from the left) there's a button called Conditional Formatting. If you click on that, you'll see the other options (highlight cells) etc, that I referred to above.
