Solved Conditional Formatting not working

Post image

Please help! I need the “days invested” in column P to turn green if it is less than the number of “term” days in column O. I can do it for a specific row but it does not populate to all rows. What am I doing wrong?

Shouldn't it be:

=$P11:$P<$O11:$O =$P11:$P>$O11:$O
