Trending a row using trend arrows - conditional formatting

Hi all,

Long story short: I'm using conditional formatting "format cells based on their values" with the arrows for monitoring the trend of some indicators. Each day the indicators produce a percentage that has to be compared with the day before. 

 

At the moment I'm applying the conditional formatting to each single cell in the row to be compared with the value of the previous cell.  

 

I wonder if there is any formula that I can input in the conditional formatting values that I can apply to the entire trow (instead of doing it with every single cell) which compares each cell of the same row, with the adjacent ones. 

 

Thanks

Luca

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to use relative references in a conditional formatting rule of type Icon Sets.

    As an alternative, create 3 rules that set the fill color:

    Here are all three rules:
