hello, i have a cell that reads "24% of calls made to Top Tier", the formula is =TEXT(VLOOKUP($B$3,'sample dashboard'!$D$4:$AD$116,4,FALSE),"0%")& " calls made to Top Tier"

i want to do a conditional formatting on this cell by comparing the value to another cell (red if below cell value/ green is higher) BUT with the text in the cell has well, how do I do it.... (also the formula to return the 24% is from a Vlookup ( so its not a specific cell)

cant figure this out maybe im over thinking it, please give suggestions. thanks
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
In the Conditional formating you will need to put

VLOOKUP($B$3,'sample dashboard'!$D$4:$AD$116,4,FALSE) < (Value to check against) Cell Colour Red
VLOOKUP($B$3,'sample dashboard'!$D$4:$AD$116,4,FALSE) >(Value to check against) Cell Colour Green
