Validate cell equality by conditional fill problem
Column G has numerical values, from keyboard input.
Column H has computed values =SUM(I4161:Z4161) which is repeated and incremented down through the rows, from row 3. =SUM(I4162:Z4162) etc. I want a conditional fill if the computed value in column H does not equal the value in column G. All values are integers. A simple data vaildation problem, if one cell that should have a value is missed, the =SUM cell turns red, because the computed value in H does not equal the value in G. Have tried several way, for a pair of cells, the copy paste format down through the range. Selecting columns G and H and tring to conditional format, am I missing something? It's Excel 2007. Thanks for any replies. |

Hi,
In conditional formatting you'll need to make the column reference absolute (=$G1<$H1). Regards! Jean-Guy " wrote: Column G has numerical values, from keyboard input.
