    If one cell is greater than another, change fill color of other cells. If not, no change

    Hello,

    In example 1 - I would like B1,C1,D1 to turn a fill color (green), if G1 is greater. than I1

    In example 2 - I would like B1,C1,D1 to have no fill (stay the same) if, G1 is less than I1 or even

    See attached,

    Thank you in advanced,

    Tony

    So are these rules meant to be mutually exclusive? What happens if G1 is greater than I1 AND even?

    So far, two rules:

    =$G1>$I1
    =OR($G1<$I1,ISEVEN($G1))

    Their can only be 3 out comes:

    1. G1 is greater than I1 - in that case fill color the cells green
    2. G1 is less than I1 - in that case no fill
    3. G1 & I1 are the same - again, no fill

    Hopefully I explained that right.

    Thanks,

    Tony

    So, you don't mean even, then, but equal to. So, you need to set up three rules:

    =$G1>$I1
    =$G1=$I1
    =$G1<$I1

    EDIT: No, you don't need three rules - you just need one! The other two conditions require no fill, so no rule required.

    =$G1>$I1
