Default How do I colour ill a cell in excel with a formula?


Thanx Keena,

I tried this and its not doing anything. I used a target price of
$400.00 and an acutal price of $500 - and nothing happened - super
frustrating!

I forgot to mention - select column "B" before opening the Conditional
Formatting window. This will apply the formatting to the entire
column.

Use conditional formatting under the Formatting menu.

Assuming Col A is the Targeted price and Col B is the actual price,

use
the following Conditional Format:

Choose "Formula is" option from dropdown

Enter this as the condition: =ABS($A1-$B1)50

Select the Format button and select the special format to apply

(e.g.
Yellow fill).
