How can we do conditional coloring based on the % column?

[Anonymous]

I have 2 columns as shown below (also have attached a sample excel)

I would like to do a conditional coloring but ... here comes the challenge

The first column is the TIMESTAMP which is a record poll of every 10 minutes.

I want to to show the BW Level % as

YELLOW if it is above 75%

GREEN if below 75%

RED if above 75% but sustaining for more than 10 minutes continuously.

We can create a formula to say whether it is above 75% or not but I dont know how to analyze if BW level was sustaining continuously for more than 10 minutes.

Really dont know how to do this and need you help please.

Is this how the raw data comes for you? in percentage form?

[Chanty4u]

try this

BW Level % as

YELLOW if it is above 75%

GREEN if below 75%

RED if above 75%

=if([ BW Level %]>75%, yellow(), if([ BW Level %]<=75%, Green() ,Red())

I think the red color is tricky here chanty, it may not be always correct if all the two conditions are not met

[kkkumar82]

Hi Vijay ,

Can you high the rows which must be in red in your above data

[Anonymous]

Yes this is how I get the raw data..

Trick we could say if it is above or below 75% but We have to see if it is above 75% and continuously sustaining for more than 10 minutes then I have to say it as RED

[kkkumar82]

In your data you posted do you have any of the rows which have %>75 and last long for more than 10 minutes

[ThornOfCrowns]

You will probably need to look at the last row of data to see if that breaches the %age then use that as an AND in your conditional formatting expression.
