Create Rule on Conditional Formatting

[NNOG28]

I would like to know how I can create rule to highlight when column A - b > 50, and <-50

Column A column B 300 350 200 201 150 50 <tbody> </tbody>

<colgroup><col width="64" span="2" style="width:48pt"> </colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

I tried this, but it did not work
=OR(AND((A2-B2)>50,(A2-B2)<-50))

TIA..

I would like to know how I can create rule to highlight when column A - b > 50, and <-50

Can you explain your criteria again as it can't be both greater than 50 and less than -50 as there will never be a match?

Maybe you meant greater than -50 and less than 50?

I want to compare the change of the numbers between 2 weeks. Let's say I am comparing store count of this year and last year on each product. and I want to highlight on this year number whenever it is 50 more store counts than last year, or highlight if it is 50 less store counts than last year.

Does it make sense?

Then you just need the OR not the AND...
