Formula to check percentage total

I have a sheet which is pulling through some data from other sheets via cell links. The cells are being pulled from a Project Plan (with rolled up section totals).

Based on this data, I want to set some conditional formatting on my sheet.

I have:

%COMP STARTDD ENDDD

55% 10/08/16 22/08/16

I'm using a formula (hidden column) to produce a "0" or a "1" for the date based on date being older than TODAY () but I need to be able to exclude where the %COMP is 100%

I have added a second hidden column to produce a "0" or a "1" for the %COMP < 100 but I cannot get the formula to produce anything other than a '"1".

The formula for the %COMP check is: =IF(RAG10 < "100%", "1", "0")

I have tried the formula with and without the % after the number.

Is there something that I need to add to tell the formula that I am looking at a %?

Thanks in advance.

Phil

As long as "RAG10" is the cell with your percentage in it, it looks like that should be fine to me. You might try just using a whole number 1 instead of "100%" to see if it makes a difference.

You could also combine both of these formulas into a single cell by doing something like:

=IF([END DATE]1 > TODAY(), 0, IF([% Complete]1 >= 1, 0, 1))
