    compare 2 different times in conditional formula

    Hi
    I try to compare a column of times(like 02:35:20) which if it is greater than a time in a cell of another worksheet.
    example:
    sheet 1:
    A
    02:35:20
    00:15:10
    17:00:01

    sheet 2:
    D
    13:00:01

    like if(a1>(sheet2!d1),....,....)

    Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the board

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results.

    You have to name the cell reference. If it will always be sheet2!d1, then simply name that cell. If it will be d1, d2, etc., have a name based on this formula: =Sheet2!$D1:Index(Sheet2!$D:$D,Match(99^99,Sheet2!$D:$D)). Your formula in conditional formatting would be =A1>Index(RangeName,Match(Rows(A$1:A1))
