Hi,
I would like to change the row color according to an if statement.

if column A is bigger than column B than change the row color to blue
otherwise no change should occur. (i.e. if A1B1, A2B2, A3B3)

The change is on pre-existing data.

thank you,

Sten Melin

Select all of the rows, starting from 1

FormatConditional Formatting

Change Condition 1 to Formula Is
Add a Formula of =$A1$B1
Click format
Select Pattern

Thanks for your help and time Bob!

I did not quite express myself clearly.

I got a user that will paste information into an excel sheet.(sheet 1)

i have alreday recorded a macro (probably need to record a new one)
that copies the format from sheet 2 and paste it onto sheet one.
Sheet 2 is already row conditional formated to row 1000.

This works but its a bit slow.

So i was wondering to use something like this (see below).

But as im a newbie to programing i dont know how to change the "Select Case
LCase(Target.Value)" to an if statement and that the change macro should only
be applied up to and incl. the last row.

thank you,

Sten
