How do I set up conditional formatting for all of the cells between I and R to change to Green if the cell is above the target cells (C) and red if it's below. I can't seem to find a way without setting it up for every single row individually. I realise this is probably something simple but I am quite new to this.

Thanks,
Andy

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Select the whole range that you want to apply it to at once, and then write the formula as it applies to the very first cell in your selection.
Be sure to use absolute range references for the parts of the range that you do not want to float/change.

For example, if the first cell in your selection is I2, and you are checking to see if it is above the value in C2, the Conditional Formatting formula would look something like:
Code:
=I2>$C2
By "locking down" the column reference (C), that ensures that all other cells in your range will allows look at column C also.
