Conditional Formatting Percents

I'm trying to create two rules for one column in a table and can't figure out how to get them both functional.

What I would like to see: 

  1.  When "Budget Spent (%)" is greater than or equal to 100%, highlight in Red
  2.  When "Budget Spent (%)" is equal to 85% or between 85% and 100%, highlight the cell in Yellow

I was able to get #1 working using a suggestion from the forum (but the logic seems weird to me). I can't figure out why #2 is behaving like #1 as seen below.  (For the 11 rows seen in this photo, I want the first 3 to be blank, the next 6 to be red, and the last 2 to be yellow). Can anyone help me?

You've changed the Summarization to Count which is not what you want.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I agree with @HotChilli , your Summarization is not correct, please check our differences.

Hi Yang!

Thank you for your quick reply! Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. When I implemented your solution, this is the result I got (they all turned red). Thoughts?
