    What is "DOES NOT EQUAL" language?

    How do you put the phrase "does not equal" into excel language? I want to conditionally format using "if this cell doesn't equal another cell."

    OK, so I thought that would fix it, but it hasn't. Help? My formula is supposed to be if the sum of cells ABCD does not equal cell E, then change cell F to color red. If it does equal, then change to green. HELP!

    You have two conditions to set in your Conditional Format for cell F1:

    Condition 1:

    Formula is: =SUM($A$1:$D$1)=$E$1 set your Pattern Fill color to Green

    Condition 2:

    =SUM($A$1:$D$1)<>$E$1 set your Pattern Fill color to Red


    You may also need to alter your font color to have it show up better in your display
