Conditional Formatting of a cell
I have a column of data containing Dow Jones Industrial Average for every
day, latest day being in the topmost cell. I shall like to format it with an up arrow icon, if the DJIA is greater than previous day, else down arrow icon. How do I do that? |

Conditional Formatting of a cell
I'm not sure how you're going to use conditional formatting to add an arrow, but
maybe you could use an additonal cell and use a formula: Give B3 a Wingdings font and this formula: =if(a2=a3,"",if(a2<a3,char(241),char(242))) Ravi Bakshi wrote: I have a column of data containing Dow Jones Industrial Average for every day, latest day being in the topmost cell.

Conditional Formatting of a cell
Many thanks for the suggestion.
I have a lot of columns in this spreadsheet and I wanted to avoid adding another column. I was hoping against hope that Microsoft might have provided an easier way of adding an up or a down arrow within the same cell for such a common situation. I do thank you sincerely for taking the time to read the post and suggest a solution.
