So, it looks like you just reversed the E2s and P2s? Glad it's working...hard to write these formulas sometimes without seeing the real data....since I didn't really know what was in which cell.

May have been a problem in my original explanation, which had me confused. Here is how I did it. Took the file home, which I normally don't like to do as work is work and home is home. Went into my office, turned on the AC cooled down and cleared my head (that was the important part). Then I knew Linda had started me on the right track, but I got to the point where I couldn't even think about it. With a clear head and cool body (temperature wise) I came up with this formula based on the formula Linda provided (Thank You). =IF(E2+(E2*0.2)<P2,(E2+(E2*0.2)),IF(E2-(E2*0.2)>P2,(E2-(E2*0.2)),"")) It seems to work fine with initial testing.
