format two number that are within a maximum of 1.03 of each other (greater to lesser)

[Paul.White]

Formatting exact matches is easy.
What I want to do is format two number that are within a maximum of 1.03 of each other (greater to lesser). Please see the attached spreadsheet.
If you would kindly provide me with the formula for this, I would be very grateful!

There are no expected results in your workbook, nor can I see any examples where they might fail the requirement. Please provide more realitsic sample data and expected results.

Just a guess for a CF rule:

=ABS($A2-$B2)<=1.03

Thank you! That's really helful.

However, it was y DIVIDED BY x, rather than minus.

So thanks to your help, the answer to my question is:

=ABS($B2/$A2)<=1.03

I can now alter the 1.03 to suit my parameters.
