Format text string
I like to combine cell values within text on my reports, usually no issues
I would like to format a number so that if it is negative it is red & in brackets The brackets appear fine, but I cannot change the font colour =TEXT(ROUNDUP(I8*10.764,-2),"#,##0;[RED](#,##0)")&" ft²") Anybody able to help? Saintsman |

Format text string
Hi Saintsman,
You could use: =ROUNDUP(I8*10.764,-2) with a custom number format: #,##0ft²;[Red](#,##0ft²) The advantage of doing it this way is that the result of your calculation remains numeric, despite the addition of the 'ft²'.
