How do I apply conditonally formatting to two rows which contain text? For
instance; A B 1 Australia Australia 2 New Zealand Canada 3 Canada New Zealand Is there anyway this is possible? Since row 2 shows that New Zealand is not matching to Canada as in the first row so it highlights New Zealand in a different color? |

Ok...
Let's assume you want to format the range A1:A10. Select the range A1:A10 Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting Select the Formula Is option Enter this formula in the box on the right: =A1<B1 Click the Format button Select the desired style(s) OK out -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "LNS" wrote in message ... 2003 "T.

which means that i can only apply conditional formatting to each cell, that
is one by one? is there any way where i can apply it to the whole range? "T. Valko" wrote: Ok... Let's assume you want to format the range A1:A10.

If you followed my suggestion you are applying it to the whole range.
If you did follow my suggestion select cell A9. Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting. Note the formula, it applies to cell A9. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "LNS" wrote in message ... which means that i can only apply conditional formatting to each cell, that is one by one? is there any way where i can apply it to the whole range?
