Problem with conditional formatting?

I need to write a formula for conditional formatting that compares cell A*10000 with cell B and highlights one color if greater than and another if equal or less than.

 

Thank you in advance.

  • If you mean compare the value of the each cell in column A, multiplied on 10000, with the value in the adjacent cell in column B and colour cells in column A, when you may use two conditional formatting rules with formulas

    =$A1*10000>$B1    =>first rule
    
    =$A1*10000<=$B1   =>second rule

    and apply them to $A:$A

      Thank you for taking the time to answer this question. For some reason I just wasn't getting it, but it works as intended so I appreciate your time on this.
