I am new to this forum and to excel, so forgive me if I am using incorrect terminology.
What I want to do: I want to sort through many, many values in a column and need to indicate cell ranges where there is a change less than 1 in the next 120 cells.
For example: Say, I had the value "100.00" ...I need all of the next 120 cell values to be less than "101.00" or greater than "99.00", which is less than a "1.00" change. If that is true, then I would like that cell in the beginning of the range to be highlighted OR just highlight the range entirely. This means that if the next 120 cell values actually went up to "101.01" at a point, then there will be no cells highlighted. Does this make sense?
Based on intuition, is it possible to apply conditional formatting where the cell compares it's value to the next 120 cells INDIVIDUALLY? When I try this formula:
=A1<((A2:A121)+1)
I apply it to all of the cells in the range in the column. HOWEVER, it highlights all of the cells because the function only needs one value that holds true for the formula. I can not have a single value in the next 120 cells be more than a 1.0 change.
Any ideas?!!? Help appreciated! Thanks.
