I'm needing to highlight the cells over a certain # in a column.
Hinky part is: these #s will change as the data changes.

Column H = Items Sold
I'm needing the worksheet to highlight the cells in that column > 500.

The Items Sold change daily.
Just now sure how to go about this.

Appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Conditional Formatting will do this for you

Assuming data in col E
Select col E (E1 active)
Click Format > Conditional Formatting
Formula Is: =AND(ISNUMBER(E1),E1>500)
Click "Format" button > Patterns tab > Green fill?
OK out

The extra check in the formula: ISNUMBER(E1)
is to ensure that only real numbers will be monitored for CF trigger
(otherwise any text in col E would also spuriously trigger the CF)
