Hello,
See below table for referencing. I am trying to apply colour scale conditional formatting (3-colour scale) to column B, dependent on corresponding column A values

Minimum - A is greater than or equal to B (e.g. B4 and B2 would be red)
Midpoint - A is less than B, but no more than 500 less (e.g. B3 would be yellow)
Maximum - A is less than B by more than 500 (e.g. B1 would be green)

How do i do this?

AB
11000020000
21500015000
33475035000
455005000
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Hi @hotdogs1999

Use these 3 conditional formats:
