Conditional Formatting

[Jim]

Hello,

I thought this would be simple, but can't seem to get it figured out. I
would like to set a conditional formula so that if the sales person's number
is equal to or greater than the goal line then the sales person's cell will
become bold. I'm using ="e$2" without success. Thanks for the help.

Goals 28 39 36 33
ASHLEY 21 43 25 31
BETH 7 31 27 21
CHAD 39 43 38 35
DAWN 16 45 36 30
JEFF 0 0 2 2
JIM 15 26 29 23

Try selecting the range (B2:E7??)

And with B2 the activecell
Format|Conditional formatting|Formula is
=B2>=E$2

Or equivalently...
(Same selection)
Format|Conditional formatting|Value is|Greater than or equal to|=E$2

Remove the quote marks. Quote marks indicate a text string. Your formula
is looking for the text string e$2, not for a value equal to the content of
cell E2.
