I have 2 columns H and I with numbers. I want to format column I such that
if the value in adjecent cells are equal, i.e if I6=H6 for I6 font as green
and I want to do this for I6:I34.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

Select cell you want to format
Select format conditional format
Change to formula is
=h6=i6
click format
click pattern
select color you want
use format painter to copy to remaining cells
