@virakprom 

In your example -26 % is the same as -.26.  If you format the number with 

Greater than -1 NUMBER and is less than 0 NUMBER that is the same as saying -100% and 0%.

When you use the % setting it is looking at the percentage of your data meaning, if you have 100 data points and pick Less than 50 percent it will format the first 50 data points.

 

Hi @virakprom ,

 

Is it possible for you to give me sample of just 5-10 rows of data file so that I can try it at my end?

Not want to real data just create similar data and send file here.
