Conditional Formatting with dates

I have a date in Column H (date 3) that I want to turn either red if it is after the date in column G (date 2) or green if it is on or before. This I can do without a problem. The problem that I have is then pasting that formatting down into other cells and is picks up the original row in column G that I started with! Can anyone help!


Date 1 Date 2 Date 3
09/02/15 13/02/15 14/02/15

** date two is a formula of Date 1 +4days

This is because of absolute reference, hope the following helps,

$A$1 - Both the column and row reference are fixed. Neither will be incremented or changed during a copy or fill operation.
$A1 - Only the column reference is fixed. It will not change during a fill or copy, but the row will change.
A$1 - Only the row reference is fixed. It will not change during a fill or copy, but the column will change.

Thanks

Thank you for your quick response it has worked!!! I have been bashing my head against a brick wall over that one for the last week!

Actually it did work! for H2 & 3 but when I copied it down further it reverted back to picking up the date from G2

I think I have uploaded it ok!

Thank you I see where I went wrong now... you help is apprecated
