    Question Help with conditional formatting 3 color scale

    I have columns with percentages in them and I want each cell to be colored depending on where it's value is in the range. I have the 3 color scales setup and set to the columns I need but they are not working the way I think / want them to. Each cell appears to be basing its color off other cells. I want each cell to only use its value in determining what color it should be.

    I'm not sure if using a macro would help me get this working the way I'd like or if I'm doing something wrong with the 3 color scale

    I have attached a sample of what my excel spreadsheet looks like. There will be more data in the actual spreadsheet.

    Thanks.

    Re: Help with conditional formatting 3 color scale

    Your CF setting is doing the following:
    It takes the values in the CF range and it compares those values only to eachother, not on a 0-100 scale... So in column L, 80% is the lowest percentage of column L so it's coloured red.

    In type, use number instead of percent and format the data as numbers
    When I say semicolon, u say comma!
