I would like to have all numbers in column D to be highlighted if greater than column F. I chose the entire column and selected "Greater Than..." within Conditional Formatting, but I only get the error: "You cannot use a direct reference to a worksheet range in a conditional formatting formula." Any special formula for doing this?
