I am making a spreadsheet in Google Sheets and my conditional formatting works in some cells and not in others. I have gone so far as to delete all of the formattings for the entire workbook and started over. I have been entering the formatting one cell at a time to see if that would solve my problem. There are still cells that the formatting doesn't come up in. I am trying to have a cell turn green if the number in the cell is greater than or equal to a certain number. HELP! I'm going crazy!

your issue is that P7 is not really 98%. it's rounded up! you can check this with .00 button:

you can fix it also in the early stage with: =ROUNDDOWN(SUM(N7)/(N7+O7),2)
