Calc: Conditional Formatting based on cell above

How do I go about setting up conditional formatting based on the cell above?

I did:

Condition 1:
Formula is: A1=A2

However this causes conditional formatting not based on the above cell, but the below cell. How do I get it to be the above cell?

Note: Formula is: A2=A1 does the same thing as A1=A2

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Condition 1: Formula is: A1=A2

Condition 1: Cell value is: A1=A2

Hello @wootowl

Assuming your data range is A1:A30 Select cells A2:A30, go to Conditional Formatting dialog and add a condition Cell value is -> Equal to -> A1 Apply the style needed. Notice relative cell reference, it is needed to correctly apply CF rule for the whole selected range.

Hello, newish user, how can I format a cell based on the cell above to be hidden if the value hasn’t changed? Simple credit debit sheet but the last column just shows a repeat of the value above, I want it to be hidden if the balance hasn’t changed.
Thanks

Same topic but never mind I’ll ask elsewhere.

Itunes is a pain.
