Hello,

I am attempting to do conditional formatting in Excel 2013. I am trying to make Cell C 3 turn red if cell 1 is 25% less or greater than cell 2 and greater than absolute value of 20. Please help.

Thanks,

Hi Delightful2k4,

So I'm guessing you are looking for the formula to use for conditional formatting.

If I understand you correctly then this will work:
=AND(OR($C$2*1.25=$C$1,$C$2*0.75=$C$1),$C$1>20)

Now, for example, when C1 = 25 and C2 = 20 then C3 turns red.

Best regards,
Trowa
