conditional formatting

[kevcar40]

Hi
i have a worksheet
that contains 2 columns
E contains the Design cycle time of a machine
I contains the Average cyclt time of a machine

what i would like to do is check the contents of the cell in column I
against Column E ie (I2 comapred against E2)
if I2 is greater then E2 the fill the cell red

How do i write this formula for conditional formatting

thanks
