I'm trying to do a comparison of two entire columns (H & L) where I'm trying to find the data where H < L and then flag those cells as red.
I tried to do a conditional formatting and put it in like (=$H:$H < $L:$L), and choose to flag each of those cells as red. The issue that I receive is that it states that I cannot perform this task on a range, but only use one cell. Granted I could do this for 500 cells, but I'd rather not key in the formula for every cell.
I tried to just do it for one and copy and paste (special - formula only) to the other cells, and for some reason, it still takes the actual "text/number" from that cell and pastes it over all of the other cells, so now I have identical cells, that don't do a comparison...
I don't know if this can be performed with conditional formatting, or if it would be easier to write it as VBA and do it that way -- I am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Notes: These cells are numbers only with a header (in text), and I'm performing this on Office 2007.
