    Conditional Format on adjoining columns

    Hi all,

    Just another (hopefully) quick request.

    I have a spreadsheet with 6 columns, each column months sales, A: Jan B: Feb etc. with each row representing a customer.

    How can I apply a conditional format so that if Jan sales are less than Febs to highlight 1 colour, and a different colour for sales that are higher than previous month?

    I can do this cell by cell, but with over 700 customers and 6 months to look at, it would take forever!

    Thanks as always in advance.

    Re: Conditional Format on adjoining columns

    1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
    2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
    3. select new rule, select use formula
    4. enter =A2<B2 format fill RED

    repeat 3 and 4 with =A2>B2 format fill GREEN

    This assumes that your data starts in row 2 - adjust as needed

    If you still have a problem, upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
