    conditional formating

    Hi

    My problem is I would like to change the colour of a cell by comparing the values in two other cells.

    A B C D
    Results Target Target Points Results Points
    B C 58 52
    B B 46 46
    D B 4 34
    A C 40 52
    B B 46 46


    I,ve tried all sorts of ways to change the colour of the cells in column A

    What I an doing is Selecting A2
    Selecting conditional formating
    New Rule
    use formula to select which cells to format
    =(D2>=C2)
    format to a green colour
    This works ok but when I copy the formula down all the values change to the value of A2 so they all change to B and are coloured green.

    I have also tried =($D$2>=$C$2)

    I would upload the file but it is about 5mb

    Thanks for any help.

    Copy A2
    Paste special/format to other destination cells, not paste only.
