Hi, I've got 2 columns in Excel. The first has the quantity of an item in stock, the second has the quantity needed for a job. For the second collum, I have conditional formatting so that if the number required is greater than the stock, the cell turns red. And if it is ok (so between 1 & number in stock) then it turns green. Is there a way to copy the conditional formatting to all the other items? At the moment, (using both copy/paste, and the copy formatting brush) it copies the conditional formatting, but references it to the copied item's stock, rather than applying it to the new item's stock.

. Cross reference “Internet user and pop. Table” with the countries on the list of tech ready countries in the “Tech Readiness 2016” worksheet. Highlight all of the countries that are in both lists on the “Internet user and pop. Table” in any shade of orange. You can use conditional formatting to complete Step 7. The cross-referencing can be done automatically so that only countries that appear in both tables are highlighted in the ‘Internet user and pop. table’ worksheet. If you correctly complete this step using conditional formatting an additional 10 points will be awarded to your exam score.

I am trying to use conditional formulas on the answers to a formula. However, if I apply the conditional format rule to a cell, it seems to reference the formula itself and not the answer to the formula. For example, if I type '160%' into the cell, the conditional formatting works, but if I put in a formula that has the result ''160%', the conditional formatting does not work.
