</tbody>[/TABLE]
I need to:
[TABLE="width: 729"]
<colgroup><col><col span="10"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="colspan: 11, align: left"]Highlight the names and the amounts in blue if the amount is below the average.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="colspan: 11, align: left"]Highlight the names and the amounts in red if the amount is 15% above the average.

What I managed to do:
Highlight the amounts below the average in blue (never the names)
I am losing my mind....

Thanks a LOT!!!![/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Welcome to the board!

Supposing Dieter is in A1 and his amount in B1 for the sample data you posted, do the following:

1. Select A1:B6 with your mouse.
2. Home>Conditional Formatting>New Rule>Use a formula.
3. For below average formula is: = $B1 < $B$7
4. Choose format (blue fill)
5. Press OK
Repeat these steps for 15% above the average using this formula: =$B1 > 1.15*$B$7 and choose a red fill.

Assuming that your data is in A1:B7, try the following:

Highlight A1:B6 > Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a formula

=$B1<$B$7

Format: Fill blue > OK > OK

Highlight A1:B6 > Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a formula

=$B1>=1.15*$B$7

Format: Fill red > OK > OK

Edit: Joe beat me to it.
