Conditional Formatting Green & Red Cells

[Huizar]

Hi All,

I look for older posts,but could not find the solution to my problem. I have a cell that needs to turn Green or Red based on a Target. The target is 65.7%.

My cell that has conditional formatting, should be green because It hit the target of 65.7%, but it turns red.

my conditional formats are a follows:

Green: =AND(I33>=I32,I32<>"",I33<>"")
Red : =AND(I33<I32,I32<>"",I33<>"")

My Target is cell I32. Why does I33 turn Red? It should be green.

Thanks in advance.

The part in red does not look valid:

[COLOR=#333333]Red : =AND([/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]I33[/COLOR]<i32,i32< style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">[COLOR=#ff0000]""[/COLOR],I33<>"")</i32,i32<>

Note. If some of your formula is getting cut off, surround the characters of what is being cut off by spaces.

I think the formula should look like:

Red[COLOR=#333333]: =AND(I33 < I32,I32<>"",I33<>"")[/COLOR]

sorry, I pasted a bad formula. but even when I made the correct it made the cell Red. I'm still struggling why the cell is turning Red rather than Green.

What exactly is in cells I32 and I33? Can you provide an actual example that does not work?
Are the values in your cells numeric or numbers entered as text?
Also note that 65.7% is really .657, not 65.7.

I32 is my Target of 65.7%..It uses an Hlook up. My sheet is dynamic.
I33 is a sumif formula. Cell I33 produce a result of 65.7%, so it should format to green, but it turned Red.

Conditional Fomatting Rules

GREEN:=AND(I33>=I32,I32<>"",I33<>"")
RED: =AND(I33<i132<>,<i32,i32<>"",I33<>"")</i32,i32<></i132<> <----looks similar to the green Condition...formula keeps getting cut off

You formula is still not displaying properly.

RED: =AND(I33<i32,i32< style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">"",I33<>"")</i32,i32<>

Are you rounding off your calculations? If not, it may not do what you expect.
I33 could really be something like 65.66%.
So, if you format it to only show one decimal with the percent, it looks like it is equal to 65.7%, but it really isn't.
Excel does not care how you format the results, it still tracks the full decimal and uses that in all calculations under your use the ROUND function in your formula (or elect the "Precision as Displayed" setting).
