I am attempting to automate errors in data using conditional formatting. My intent is to automate highlighting errors when cell data vary. Highlight cell F2 if F2/B2 > 1.5 I've tried several formula variations and cannot get this right. Any formulas that have worked for you?

Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
Welcome to the Board!

Use the "Formula" option for Conditional Formatting and use the formula:
Code:
=F2/B2>1.5
Note that if B2 can be zero or empty, you may need to account for that error, i.e.
Code:
=IF(B2<>0,F2/B2>1.5)
