Default Conditional Formulas and finding lower numbers in a series


Another thing you may b able to help me with:

I need a cell to show "x" when the value of a given cell was '2' but has
since increased to '4' for e.g.

Hi
I don't think that you need a conditional formula, try:

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4, "<"&D1)2,"keyword","")

What this does is checks if the value in the range a1:a4 are < the value in
D1 and it gives me the count and if the count is more than 2 bingo I have the
keyword.

Is that it?
