Hi All

Hard to explain but ill give it ago

Column A is activity and column B is Percentage

Column A can have the same tasks but for different departments e.g Relocation - HH or Relocation - NHH

But column A can have individual tasks.

What i need is, if the tasks percentage is NOT 100% then highlight, but if the same task just by different departments adds up to 100% or more between them then don't highlight, if it does not don't highlight

Relocation Jobsheets - HH.
80.00%​
Don’t Highlight - as together they are 100%
Relocation Jobsheets - NHH.
20.00%​
Don’t Highlight - as together they are 100%
Install - HH.
90.00%​
Highlight
Data - NHH
100.00%​
Don’t Highlight
Flows - HH
20.00%​
Highlight - as together they are 40%
Flows - NHH
20.00%​
Highlight - as together they are 40%

I have made this, but it just adds up the tasks that are simulate which is not right, but im sure its something along these lines, just cant figure it out.

=SUMIF($A$1:$A$6, LEFT(A1, FIND("-", A1, 1)) & "*", $B$1:$B$6)

Hope that makes sense

Thanks in advance if you can figure it out or at least try :)

Thanks for the response, but the forumla will not do what i need. I dont think its correct for what i need.

Does not check if a cell is 100% or if two cells with same task adds up to 100% and the rest of it.
