I have a list of date in excel with A1 being the start date and B1 being the end date. I need to highlight the cells in A that end after than their adjacent cells in B, since start date can't be after end date. I tried "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and did =a2>b2 and then apply it to =$A:$A and =A:A, but neither seems to be highlighting like I need. Any recommendations on how to do highlight the A cells only that are larger than the adjacent B?
Key here is first select cell A1 then select the whole column A and then click Home | Conditional formatting | new rule | Use a formula...
In the text box format values... write this =A1>B1
Click the format button and set the custom formatting
Click ok
Edit: as OP stated in the comments not in the question, you should select first A2
