    I have two columns of dates, let's say columns H and J

    I wish to highlight cells in Column J that are at least 4 weeks later than corresponding cells (ie same row) in column H.

    I select column J and create a conditional formatting:
    'Use formula to determine which cells to format'
    and for 'Format values where this formula is true, I enter:
    =">$H:$H+28"

    select column J and use
    =H1+28

    then set some formatting colour.

    Result: no cells are highlighted

    When I look at the conditional formats for the Worksheet, it shows:

    Formula: ">$H:$H+28"
    Applies to: =$J:$J

    Looks right but ......

    How should I achieve this?
