I need to apply conditional formatting comparing the number in column D to F, and E to F based on the following (D is a # value for the current month, E is 3 month, and F is 12 month). If D is less than or equal to F, then highlight in gree. If D is greater than a 20% increase from F, then highlight in red. If D is less than or equal to the 20% increase from F AND greater than F, highlight in yellow. Same 3 rules for the value in column E compared to F.

I have two sheets in a workbook. The first sheet has formulas to determine a set price. The second sheet has a column that uses vlookup to display the price from the formula. I have another column on that same sheet with old prices. I want to use conditional formatting to highlight prices that are different, but it seems to highlight everything based off of the formula, even if the prices are the same. How can I get it to compare the values from the formula?
