Greetings,

I have a spreadsheet full of price values from Column A to Column xxx.

Column A is my lowest selling prices. (Column A, every row different price)

how to references every column every row from column B onward and "lookup" column A and if the price for that specific cell falls below the same row cell in Column A, it will be highlighted.

Perhaps only VBA can solve this?

thanks in advance!

example:

A (fixed) 34.40 B 34.50 C 34.90 D 33.50 E 34.00
43.50 42.50 43.00 41.30 45.90
60.50 61.10 84.60 81.30 82.40
79.10 74.50 99.70 95.70 97.10
76.30 72.20 101.70 97.60 99.00
91.30 85.60 116.70 112.00 113.60
92.10 83.40 117.60 112.90 84.50
106.90 96.80 132.70 127.40 129.20

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Seems easily doable with conditional formatting using a formula:
Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a formula to determine which cells to format >
1. use the formula =B1<$A1
2. set the formatting
3. apply to col B:E
