Hi All,
in an old version of XL you were able to type **something along the
lines of**:
in cell A3:
=if(A1A2, A1 [BLUE]; ##.###,A2 [RED]; (##.###))
to get the cell A3 formatted either red or blue with or without
brackets round the contents....
You now do this with 'conditional formatting' which is fine.... but I
want to reference other sheets and other workbooks... which I cant do
with CF. Anyone know if this type of thing is still in use and if so,
what the format is??
i've scoured the help and several books, but come up blank - am i
missing something simple?
many thanks
andy
