Default Excel Conditional Formatting (Compare Vals in 2 Columns)

I want to use Conditional Formatting to highlight numeric cells in one
column that are less than the value of cells in lower records and an
adjacent column. I have tried using INDEX, with limited results.

Will this require a VLookUp + INDEX?

Any ideas?

Brian

I think you'll need to post a small example of data so we can see what you
mean.

Here is what I have so far
=AND(COUNT(INDEX($A$1:$AZ$1000,ROW()+1,COLUMN())-1)<=$C53)
....but I'm pretty sure I'll have to build an array to process the data.

That really doesn't help to explain what you're trying to do.

You don't need the AND or the COUNT functions because you're only comparing
a single cell to C53.

Let's assume that is the cf formula applied to cell C6. Here's what that
formula means:

B7<=$Cxx
