Conditional Formatting
 

Hello,

I thought this would be simple, but can't seem to get it figured out. I
would like to set a conditional formula so that if the sales person's number
is equal to or greater than the goal line then the sales person's cell will
become bold. I'm using ="e$2" without success. Thanks for the help.

Try selecting the range (B2:E7??)

And with B2 the activecell
Format|Conditional formatting|Formula is
=B2=E$2

Or equivalently...
(Same selection)
Format|Conditional formatting|Value is|Greater than or equal to|=E$2

Remove the quote marks. Quote marks indicate a text string. Your formula
is looking for the text string e$2, not for a value equal to the content of
cell E2.
