    Conditional Formatting Top/Bottom 10% rule

    Hi,

    I could not understand that how Excel applies CF when using Top/Bottom percentage rule.
    I have applied these percentage rules to different data sets but could not get the logic that how Excel formats the values?
    Please explain the logic and criteria behind these rules.

    Regards

    Re: Conditional Formatting Top/Bottom 10% rule

    What happens is the spread of the data is used and the top 9th percentile is flagged for formatting.

    So the sheet show in column E, Min, Max and spread values based on source data.
    The new percentage value for each data value where min value = 0% and max value=100%.
    G3 contains the 9th Percentile cutoff value and formula in column F states whether the new calculated percentage is above or below.
