Default Conditional Formulas

Does it matter if C43 has a formula (+C40+C41-C42) and C45 (I input this
value manually) and C49 has a formula (+C47-C48). The reason I ask is that
it does not work if I use the formulas for C43 and C49 at the same time. If
I delete the formula for C43 (then manually put the value in) and leave the
formula for C49 - the cells stay red. If I leave the formula for C43 and
manually put a value if for C49 they turn to green. The value for C45 is
always manually put in.

Select all three cells (Hold Ctrl to select inidvidual cells)
goto: Format-Conditional Format.
Change first box to "Formula is"
Input:
=AND($C$43=$C$45,$C$43=$C$49)
Click format, go to pattern tab, and select green.
Hit 'ok' to close dialogue.

Now, with all 3 cells still selected, format the cells red (as you would
normally). Now, your cells will be red by default, unless they meet your
criteria (as you desired).

I have three cells that i would like to be green if they all equal each other
and red if they do not.

Here is an example:
C43 the value is $10.00
C45 the value is $10.00
C49 the value is $10.00

If all three equal each other then I want all three cells to turn green. If
one or more of the values do not match then I want all three to turn red
