I need to be able to turn a cell red in B12 if it is within 20%of the value in B3. It seems simple but I cant work out at all how to make it work.

Any help would be great.

thanks

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Yes that worked. Thanks

Taking this further, The user can enter a figure in to B3 which I now need it to match the formatting of a cell the value is closest to.
B C D E F

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 281pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=374><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 54pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2633" span=4 width=72><COL style="WIDTH: 65pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3145" width=86><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 13.5pt" height=18><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 54pt; HEIGHT: 13.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl67 height=18 width=72 align=right>7.50%</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 54pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=72 align=right>15.00%</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 54pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=72 align=right>30.00%</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 54pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=72 align=right>55.00%</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 65pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl67 width=86 align=right>90.00%</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


They are all different colours, if value B3 is closest to the value in D then green, if closer to the value in F then red.

Is this possible.

Thanks

Sean
