    Conditional formatting with a formula

    I am trying to create conditional formatting in cell E7. If E7 does not equal cell B10 I would like to highlight cell E7. I saw a similar post, but could not get the solution to work for me. thanks in advance.

    Re: Conditional formatting with a formula

    You can do this with a formula. Select E7 then go into conditional formatting, select New Rule, select "Use a formula to determine..." and use this formula

    =E7<>B10


    or more simply by selecting "Format only cells that contain" then select

    Cell Values - Not Equal To - =$B$10
