ed,

In A3:
=IF(A1<A2, CHAR(233), IF(A1A2, CHAR(234), CHAR(232)))

Format for Wingdings. I don't think you need to use conditional formatting.

Hello,

I would like to show a trend graphic with arrows.
I don't know a good way to do this so I'm thinking something simple like

cell A1 = 1, cell A2 = 2, and then in cell A3 I want an upward arrow.
So in cell A3 I would have a conditional format that if A1 A2= "downward
arrow wingding"

Can anyone suggest the right wingding or (preferably) a more practical
solution to display an upward or downward trend?

Thanks & Cheers
