You select the range (say A1:A20) ; apply conditional formatting with
formula the same as if you had selected only the first cell (A1).
Or use the format painter

OK, silly question, how do you apply to a range?

It works for me. But you can use Conditional Formatting-Highlight Cell
rulesGreater than, and fill in: =A1+1/24/60*5 (for cell A2, and apply
this rule to the rest of your range)

Thanks, this does not appear to work with the data in the cell the way
it is represented.
Should I be using Conditional Formatting - Highlight Cells rules-
Greater than rule?

You don't need code.
Use Conditional Formatting with a formula:
=A2-A11/24/60*5 (for cell A2 and below)
and coose a highlight color

Excel 2007 [Square Brackets] used to represent a Cell. They do not
exist in the data of the cell.
I have a column spreadsheet that has 15K records. IN column "G" all
records have a date/tame like [2008-12-03 09:54:08.100]. What I need
to do is search through that column to the end of the file and find
any gaps that may be 5 minutes or longer and highlight that row.
So the above, I need to search 09:54 and see if the next row has 09:59
or greater. If so highlight the row, if not move down one row and do
the same check. I'm looking to see if the row below is equal to or
greater than a 5 minute difference from the cell above.
Does this make any sense?
I am aware I will most likely need to do this in code. I am using
Excel 2007, and am somewhat familiar with modules, but have not worked
with them for a few years. Seems like I need a do until End of file
and a for each loop, but just a little lost on the details. Just got
Excel 2007, so it's new.
I also need to be careful to work with this workbook and this tab as
there will be many in the book.
Thanks for any help
