Apply a conditional format to columns to highlight differences [Solved]

Apply a conditional format to columns to highlight differences

In Excel 2003, I could easily apply a conditional format that highlighted differences between two adjacent cells.  I would place the conditional format in the result column which would highlight the differences between the data in the source and result columns.
In Excel 2007, it does not seem possible to do this.  I must be doing something incorrectly.
How do you apply a conditional format to show differences between individual cells for two columns?

Hi,
 
The conditional format formula you used in E2003 will work in E2007 but the way you apply it is a bit different.
Try entering it like this:-
 
Select the cell then
 
Home Tab|Conditional formatting|New rule|Use formula to decide which cells to format
 
Now it's the same as E2003.
Enter your formula and pick a colour etc
 
Now if you have the correct relative/absolute references for your formula you can paint it into other cells with the format painter.

If you failed to fix it, another option is to call Microsoft and walk through the process with a technician. To do this, dial "1-800-936-5700". Explain the error that you received and the steps in the update process during which it was displayed. The technician will be able to walk through the steps from getting a new product key to finishing the installation.
