    Please try this with the conditional formatting. You must not use the $ in the formula.

    =AND(ISEVEN(COLUMN()),ISBLANK(D8))
=AND(ISEVEN(COLUMN()),C8<D8)
=AND(ISEVEN(COLUMN()),C8>D8)

Applies to:
=$D$8:$ZZ$25

    dscheikey Thank you! That is working so far! I did have an issue where if a date was present in the first column, but not the second the box would turn green instead of orange, but making that rule first and stopping rule running if true corrected the issue. 

     

    Could you explain to me what you did so I can apply it again in the future?
