I am attempting to automate errors in data using conditional formatting. My intent is to automate highlighting errors when cell data vary. Highlight cell F2 if F2/B2 > 1.5 I've tried several formula variations and cannot get this right. Any formulas that have worked for you?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Welcome to the Board!

Use the "Formula" option for Conditional Formatting and use the formula:
Code:
=F2/B2>1.5
Note that if B2 can be zero or empty, you may need to account for that error, i.e.
Code:
=IF(B2<>0,F2/B2>1.5)
