The tricky part is to get the conditional formatting formula correct. Just remember, one reason why your conditional formatting formulas might not work can be due to the wrong usage of the dollar sign for fixing the cell references (i.e. absolute, versus relative referencing - and sometimes you need a mix of the two).
