Copying a cell with conditional formatting doesn't work because th
conditional formatting isn't seen as 'constant'. So I won't change t
$b$3>$a$3 ... $b$4>$a$4 etc.etc.
Another solution maybe?
I've included a test file which better explains my problem.

I believe Dav's formula should work if you copy and past
special(formats)

3Pinter,
Dav was correct
$b3>$a3 in your first cell of formattting ( NOT $b$3>$a$3... watch the
$$$$ )
then copy that cell
Paste Special ( Edit>Paste Special) Then select> Format
Another way click on the formatted cell, double-click on your Format Painter
( paintbrush-icon) every cell you click on or scroll over now receives that
format.
