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.

Use conditional formatting to identify all AvgRev values where the AvgRev is more than 5% greater than the AvgRev FOR THAT CARCLASS calculated in Item 17 above. DO NOT USE the calculated AvgRev number, instead USE the cell contents of the AvgRev value so that if either Revenue or NumCars change in a particular row that the conditional formatting is based on the updated value for Average Quarterly Revenue

Conditional formatting across a column
Y6>=$C$2 Format J6
I've tried relative and absolute referencing to the cells and used format painter to copy down column J but it all formats when it shouldn't, same when using colum referencing rther than cell.
So checking if a date cell is greater than or equal to a date in cell C2 and if it is to change the format of cell in column J. Should I be doing this a different way?

I am trying to use conditional formatting in my excel sheet. I have used greater than and have it turn green in cell C2 when it is greater than cell B2. I want to apply it to the cells below and have them be greater than the cell next to them but I am not sure how to do that. Every time I do it all the cells still are comparing to B2.
