Hello everyone, I need some help with creating some conditional
formatiing on the following sheet:

Column A contains a range of row titles
COlumn B contains my first percentage
Column C contains my second percentage
Column E contains my third percentage
Column F contains my fourth percentage.
The data runs from row 8 to 46.

What I want to do is highlight by shading the box yellow those entries
in column C which are higher than column B, and highlight entries in
column F that are higher than column E.

To help me do this, I have a formula in column G that returns "higher"
if column C is higher than B, and in column H a formulae that returns
"higher" where column F is higher than column E - not sure if this
step is necessary if done in VBA.


Any assistance gratefully received.

Scott.

Hi Scott,
You should be able to do this in conditional formatting. click
on your cell in Col C then
go to << Format Conditional formatting where it has condition 1 dial up
<< Formula is then in the box to the right type
<< = then select your cell in Col C then type then select the cell in
Col B. it should look something like

=$C$7$B$7 now delete the $signs so it becomes =C7B7 then select the
format option and dial up the colour required.

once you have done this copy the cell and paste special formats to the other
cells in the column

regards
Pete
