How does Conditional Formatting(CF) - % Classification Range work?

What is CF?

Conditional Formatting helps us to change the appearance based on a condition/criteria.

Let us walk you through the percentage range conditional formatting with an example.

Where is CF?

Home-->Conditional Formatting-->Create Rule

Set "Format by" as Classification

How does it work?

The highest value in the selected column for CF will be used for calculating the percentage range.

Formula:

Highest value in the column x (Range/100)

For instance:

Please check below the YoY column, to which CF range will be set. The criteria is to have a green triangle on the left of the value in the selected column for 0 -50 percentage. 103 being the highest percentage value in the column, any value between 0 and 51.5 percent will have the green triangle.

From Range: 0 (value >= (103x0/100 =0))

To Range: 50 (value <= (103x50/100 = 51.5))

Case 1: One row below 51.5

Case 2: One row with 51.5
