=b1/2

is the formula I used.

The activecell was A1.

What did you use and what was the activecell when you tried it?

Oops. You said it had to be over half of column B.

Select A1 through A## (as far as you want).
With A1 the activecell
Format|Conditional formatting
Cell value is
Greater than (Not greater than or equal to!)
=b1/2

And give it a nice format.

You wanted to format the stuff in column A, right?
