Hi,

To begin with please don't multi post. There's no need you will get an
answer from a single post.

Assuming you 'Current month' data are in column b starting in B2. Select all
that data then

Apply a conditional format of

=ABS(B2)ABS(A2)
select RED as the fill colour.

Add another condition and enter the formula
=ABS(B2)<ABS(A2)
select GREEN as the fill colour

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hi

I'm facing a problem from last month but I'm not able to put Icons whether
it can be done through conditional formatting or through a macro.

If somebody can help as its really urgent for me !!!!!

I have values for two months - Current and Previous. If current month's
value is closer to zero than previous month's value then i want to show a
green arrow. If current month's value is away from zero than previous
month's value then i want to show a red arrow. Though these values are
positive and negative both, i need to apply conditional formatting on
absolute values.

e.g.

previous Current Arrow Colour
1.2% 2.4% Red Arrow
1.2% -2.4% Red Arrow
-1.2% 2.4% Red Arrow
-1.2% -2.4% Red Arrow

-2.4% 1.2% Green Arrow
-2.4% -1.2% Green Arrow
2.4% -1.2% Green Arrow
2.4% 1.2% Green Arrow

But the conditional formatting will be applied on absolute values and I want
to put the condition in same cell in which the current month values are
shown.

I tried it with conditional formatting but not able to get the desired result.

Any help will be appreciated..

Regards,
Miki
