Changing text color based upon If
I have two colums with inventory numbers Column A is the three month
requirement, column B is quantity in stock. If B is less than A column, I would like the text in B to change colors (to Red for instance). Any ideas? Thanks, KenM |

Thank you. But is it possible to select cells B2 through B116 to have them
compare between A2 through A116 so that I wouldn't have to repeat the function 115 times? I thought I might be able to select a group of cells to apply the formula too. I am using 2007 by the way.

hi
no i don't think conditional formatting works that way. each cell must be set. but you can copy and paste special formats to set the column in mass after setting one cell. and i am stuck on 2003. in 2007,its the home tabstyle groupconditioal formating. regards FSt1 "KenM" wrote: Thank you.

You can certainly select a range of cells before you apply CF in Excel 2003.
I would be surprised if you can't in 2007, though I know that there have been some "improvements". -- David Biddulph "KenM" wrote in message ... Thank you.
