Default Conditional Formatting Macro?

Works great thank you very much!

A couple of follow up questions...

1) the numbers I am pulling into the spreadsheets are being pulled in from
an excel ad in and comes in as text and I need to "convert to number" in
order for the conditional formatting to work. Is there a macro that can be
written to do this?

2) With the conditional formatting macro provided below is there a way to
specify what cells in the worksheets you want changed? For example A1:AW22?

Thanks!

One way:

Public Sub FormatSmallValuesWhite()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With ws.Cells
.FormatConditions.Delete
With .FormatConditions.Add( _
Type:=xlCellValue, _
Operator:=xlBetween, _
Formula1:="-499999", _
Formula2:="499999")
.Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End With
End With
Next ws
End Sub

Hello,

I would like to write a macro that goes into all the tabs in a work book and
conditional formats the cells to white font if the numbers are equal to or
between negative 499,999.00 and positive 499,999.00 can this be done?

thanks so much.
