also somehow change another cells colour based on another

Not easily. You would have to use a VBA function.

The problem I have is a greater than and less than

I must display a negative number. I can get it to work
fine if I ABS() the number but I need to to work on a
negative number.


There is no problem with testing negative values in condition
formatting formulas. The cell value must not be what you expect.

Provide some details if you want help. What is the cell value? What
is the cell type -- e.g. TYPE(A1)? How are you trying to test it
using conditional formatting?
