    Matching plus and negative numbers using CF

    Hello Guys,

    Hope your all well, I really need your help.

    This is my first post and the first time I've joined a forum, I need the below figures to colour in red regardless of their plus and minus status. For example because the cells in row 2 'match' no colour fill is required however this isn't the case in row 3 therefore these need to be coloured in red. i have attached an excel example, your help is really appreciated. Thanks

    Welcome to the forum!

    Set up the rule (with A2 selected):

    =ABS($A2)<>ABS($B2)

    Set the applies to range: $A$2:$B$3
