Good Morning

I am trying to conditional format a column of data where a +/- 10% on previous cell would be formatted.

There are columns where 0 is present due to either a breakdown or non-working shift that needs to be in the column so cannot remove this.

For example there is a 10% swing between rows 1 & 2, rows 2&3 and rows 6&8 however between rows and 6 in row 7 there is a non-production day, is there a formula to detect the zero and point it to the most recent row in this case 6.

Am a bit stuck on this and having a complete mind black on just how to format based on +/- 10% of previous cell never mind the zero being thrown into the mix, so any sort of help would be appreciated.

Sanjay I have the same formula and I am getting the same result.

What I can see is that in your example it is high-lighting the previous Cell as the change, R9 & R10 for example in your list, the formula is showing the percentage change in R9 and would it be possible to highlight that there has been a percentage change in R10 not R9.
Check this and revert -

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

When I copy your formula in, it is picking up the 10% change in R6, R10 & R24 which is correct, but it is also highlighting R4 for some reason. Just for information the R1 & R2 is blank space not used on the sheet, R3 is a the text header of the column table. I notice that R2 & R3 is mentioned in the formula also is this throwing up an error for me?

A new request just been landed on me also if I was to do another formula based on 5% to highlight a different colour would the formual change just be a replacement of where it R2<=R4*0.9,R2>=R4x1.1 and replace with R2<=R4*0.4,R2>=R4*0.6

Thanks Sanjay, do you know why the R4 is showing up as red currently, I copied your formula into mine but its highlight R4, I have nothing in cells R1 & R2 and R3 is a text header but I notice the formula references R2 & R3

Just add a Conditional Format (No Format - Stop if true) to Cell R4 only using

=And(R1="",R2="")
