Hi, I can't seem to get this to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to use conditional formatting on sheet 1 to highlight green any sales months that the seller was over goal based on their goal data on sheet 2. Sheet two contains the seller's goal data. I need to do a vlookup to find the sellers on sheet 2 to identify their goal. There are hundreds of sellers and they are not in order. This is what I came up with and it doesn't seem to work: =C5>VLOOKUP($B$5,GOAL!$B$5:$C$53,2,FALSE)

Sheet 1 (Seller Sales)


[TABLE="width: 508"]
<colgroup><col><col span="6"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD] [/TD]
[TD]Day1[/TD]
[TD]Day2[/TD]
