Hello Dear,


I have used Icon Sets of Conditional Formatting for this range based on the criteria shown in the attached picture,
but why 6 is amber while it's 60% and the criterion states >= 60% which should be green, doesn't the 6 equal 60%? (Max=10 and Min=1, 6/10=60%)
similarly, while the critera says less than 40 to be red but 40 which is not less than 40 but is red (less than red should be red)
and i know Excel calculates it using Min+60%*(max-min) or (value - MIN()/(MAX()-MIN()) but i don't understand it, yet i assumed it calculates 60% times the total sum of all the data, is it true? so it means >= percent of what?
or it's used only for percent values not simple values, or the calculation is based on another method!


Thanks.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
