    Conditional Formatting - Sliding bar comparing two columns

    Hi everyone,
    I have two columns containing numbers, lets call them Column A and Column B.

    I would like a sliding bar similar to the Conditional Formatting Data Bar to be shown in column A to illustrate how much larger or smaller that number is compared to the one in Column B.

    For example:
    If A and B were the same, the bar in column A would be in the middle.
    If A was less than B, the bar would slide to the left
    If A was greater than B, the bar would slide to the right and so on.

    This would be as a percentage I suppose of A?

    Any help greatly appreciated...

    I don't think you can put that in column A. CF icons and bars only work on the cell to which the CF is applied. You could put a formula in column C to give the difference or difference as a percentage of A, and use CF on that.
