Automatic color for output of a =sum action
I am building a chart that has something like =SUM(AK1:AK38) with the results
on AK39, I need to compare the results of AK39 to the number in AK40. 39 is going to be my "Actual" and I need that compared to 40 which is my "Target". I would also like for the number in 39 to be red if it is less than 40 and green if it is =. If it can't be done... I can keep going in and changing the font color, but takes too much time. Thanks, Andy |

If it's a cell value, look into conditional formatting. Here are a couple

Thank you, that is what I needed. Wish I could have gotten it to do a line
comparison (if Row 10 is Less than row 11 change color to red, for the entire sheet from D-CF, but the work is done untill next time. ~Andy "Jon Peltier" wrote: If it's a cell value, look into conditional formatting.

You didn't provide quite enough information, but it seems you should be able
to write a function to sort the values into color ranges. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "AndyE" wrote in message ...
