I'm tyring to use conditional formatting to compare several rows in one column to the associated rows in another column and indicate column a better than, equal to or worse than column b. Can this be done without entering conditional formatting in each row of the first column?
Each time I try to format the entire column to another entire column I get an error.
I'm new at conditional formatting, apologies in advance for my cluelessness!
If you select the whole column and then use a formula to determine which cells to format and then enter a formula like:
=AND(A1<>"",$B1<>"",A1>$B1)
this assumes your selection is from A1 down and/or over.
It will highlight current cell if it is not blank and corresponding B cell is not blank and is greater than corresponding B cell. Note the $ before the B "freezes" that column for comparison to any other selected column.
Where there is a will there are many ways.
