Data Validation Between 2 adjacent cells for all rows
How would I create a data validation between 2 adjacent cells for all rows. For example cell B1 shows an error when the user tries to enter a value greater than the value in cell A1. I know how to do data validation for each cell, but how would I make it work for each row without manually adding validation between cells A2 and B2, A3 and B3 etc.
Thanks so much

Select
Column BIn
Data Validation -> Custom, type in the formula for the first row (i.e.=B1<A1)
And you're done!
Excel will automatically adjust the formula for each row
