conditional formatting adjacent cells
I have some data in 10 columns where I want to change the data in the next
adjacent column to be coloured red if it is less or green if it is more than the current column. The next column would then need to test the previous column. I want to check simply if the number has increased or decreased from the previous figure. In Excel 2003, I managed to do this by deleting $ sign in the cell reference. Now I can't delete the $ sign. It is automatically added even when I delete it. Can you please help! -- Thanks, in advance. |

Assuming your starting with column B. Select columns B through whatever.
Conditional format, Formula1 is: =A1B1 Format red Formula2 is: =A1<B1 Format green If you type the formulas in directly, without using the arrow keys to navigate, it should take. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Sketch" wrote: I have some data in 10 columns where I want to change the data in the next adjacent column to be coloured red if it is less or green if it is more than the current column.
