Conditional formatting
 

Hi.

I have a college asignment and I need to apply conditional formatting
to show if a value has increase by more than 3%. I have cells similar
to the following:

E F
30 27
98 95
48 47
40 35

I need to apply conditional formatting to the cells in E column, if
they have increased by more than 3%.

Any suggested solution would be _greatly_ appreciated.

Conditional formatting
 

Is the increase based on column F?

Conditional formatting
 

Try this. Assuming E2 is the first cell with an amount. Highlight the
cells from E2 downwards, select format-conditional formatting, select
"Cell value is" and "Greater than" and paste:

=$F2*1.03

Curiously, the equals sign appears to be necessary.

Good luck
