Conditional formula

[john]

I'm sure this is simple, but I cannot seem to wrap my mind around it. This
is what I have:

COLUMNS:
F H I J

ROW 1: .5 .5 1 1
ROW 2: 1 1 2 1
ROW 3: .5 .5 1 MO
ROW 4: 2 X 2 1

I need some kind of formula that will calclulate (for example) if F1+H1 is
equal to I1*J1, then highlight I1 and/or J1 if it is not.

Select the I cells to be tested and in conditional format use this formula:
=F1+H1=I1*J1
set actual format as needed
Select the J cells to be tested and in conditional format use this formula:
=IF(ISERROR(F1+H1<>I1*J1),TRUE,IF(F1+H1<>I1*J1,TRUE,FALSE))
set actual format as needed
best wishes
