    Conditional formatting question

    Hi all, 1st time poster here, have a quick question on conditional formatting:

    I have two data tables (sensitivity tables for a finance model)

    Basically they are both the same dimension say 4 by 4, in the 1st table I conditional format for any cell greater than one to shade a certain color and that works. For the 2nd table, I'd like it to shade the mirrored location based on the same condition, is that possible? I.e. if the 1st cell in the 1st table is shaded, I'd like it to get shaded as well. Thanks.

    EDIT - should say that I cannot use the same greater than 1 rule in the 2nd table because it shows a different metric independent metric. Thanks

    Use Formula and use the firts cell as the reference.

    So, if the original comparison was Cell: >1 in cell D1

    Use CF Formula is: =D1>1 and the same formatting.

    Re: Conditional formatting question

    Table 1 A1 already meets your criteria and is shaded, then in Table 2 which is the exact same dimension, highlight thw whole table, and in the conditional format dialogue, go to New Rule, and type whatever is the upper left most cell ref of table 2 we'll say G2, type =G1=A1 and as long as A1 is table 1 and G1 is upper left most in table 2 you can then format with a colour. Make sure there's no $ signs when you enter the formula and that should work
