People,

Please lend a hand. I want B1 and then C1 to conditionally format with a green fill if they equal 90% or more of cell A1.
Looking around I thought this formula I found would (for cell B1) do it

=(B1/A1)>=0.9

But it didn't format. And I cant figure it.
As ever, thanks

That works for me. When you put the formula in a cell do you get true?

Thanks for responding Scott and confirming the formula was alright. Turns out the cell was 'text'. Schoolboy error. Cheers.
