    The IF() formula can be written to flow exactly as you described/outlined it.

    If it's less than or equal to 29%, then Red; if it's less than or equal to 49%, then Yellow; if it's less than or equal to 99%, then Green; else, Blue.

    Let's say that the percent complete is in a column labeled "Progress". Your formula would be...

    IF( Progress@row <= 0.29 , "Red", IF( Progress@row <= 0.49 , "Yellow", IF(Progress@row <= 0.99, "Green", "Blue" ) ) )
