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?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
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)
