    Hey all,
    trying to do a "double-check" method and want to check to cells with eachother that always should be 0 (zero) and if anything else (- or +) I want XL to notify.


    First had an idea of a watermark appering but maybe that one is to complex without vba so then I tried with conditional formatting.


    Saw a formula with ABS that I tried but it didn´t work out.


    Anyone with ideas?
    =R72-S72 shall equal 0 in T72
    "=IF(T72 is other than 0, then mark text"


    or is it better thinking:
    "=IF(R72 and S72 isn´t the same, then mark text"?


    All the best
    /D

    Let me know if i get it right.


    You want to Conditionally format a cell if another 2 cells are not equal.


    If that is the case, you can write in Conditional Formatting for T72
    "=R72<>S72"
    and give desired formatting.


    This will mean, if R72 is not equal to S72, the conditional formatting will work.

    Andy,


    Once we write "=R72<>S72" it automatically results "TRUE" and "FALSE" based on the values of the two cells, so no need for if condition.


    Thought just might help :)

    Thanks: ~Yogendra
