    I have =Sheet1!E20=Sheet2!E20 to compare two cells. if the cells are different i want to change the = to a - to get the difference and then if the difference is greater than one i want to make it red

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thanks a million.

    Choose your range where this will be happening

    With this range highlighted go to Format -> Conditional Formatting -> Formula Is

    Enter: =IF(Sheet1!E20>Sheet2!E20,TRUE,FALSE)

    Click Format -> Font Tab -> Color and then choose red.

    Then click the Okay buttons. Should do the trick.

    TRUE and FALSE are whatever statements you want in there. I imagine you are copying a cell value in there and since you just want the colour to change then have
    =IF(Sheet1!E20>Sheet2!E20,Sheet1!E20,Sheet1!E20)
