conditional format for background color change with cells D47 and D52 when they match

[atcman]

Ive tried all the conditional formats I could find which indicated they would work but none have. Thanks for the help, I'd be lost without this site. thanks again, ATCMAN

Just use the Conditional Formatting formula:
=$D$47=$D$52
and choose your formatting color.

You would so the same thing for both cells.

Thanks Joe4. I want to say I tried that but will try it. If it works will I be able to fill right?

If you simply want to check if the two cells are equal, that will work. It is pretty straightforward.

If it works will I be able to fill right?

Not sure what you mean by this statement.
