Conditionally format a range based on a different range
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Given the sheet:
A| B | C = SUM($D2:$Z2) | D | E | F | ...
How would I, for a range of rows (for example: 4:50), color columns Cx:Zx (for row x) if Bx > Cx, without making a conditional rule for each individual row and/or each individual column?
(Assume there are a lot of rows and a lot of columns.)

There are several Q&A on Stackoverflow that would assist you. In particular Conditional formatting based on another cell's value and the answer (with the attached comments) by Zig Mandel. It's a reminder that some Googling is always worthwhile before asking a new question.
- Select "Custom formatting" from the Format menu.
- Set "Apply to Range" to C2:Z50
- "Format cells if", select "Custom formula is" and enter
=$B2:$B>$C2:$C
- Select Done.
B is less than C
B is greater than C

That is true, but none answered fully with regard to upper left and lower right range bounds with end range of full column in the custom formula. Thank you; I believe that your answer is original and more robust than others provided.

@kando You may be right, but I'm not sure. The BIG thing revealed in that Q&A was the use of the '$' sign in the custom formula. I had to experiment with combinations to have the condition apply to a whole row, but I haven't seen any discussion else on that topic. What I'm saying is sometimes another question may not necessarily resolve one's question, but it may provides a key; in fact, it may take a few other questions to "join the dots".
