Conditional Formatting
I have a spreadsheet that came from someone else. Some of the cells contain a
simple subtraction formula (+B3-B2). The font color turns red if the result is negative. I assumed this was conditional formatting. I want to turn it off. But when I open the conditional format box for that cell, there is no formatting set up. A message in the box states "No format set" and there are no decision rules at all. I looked in the normal format box for these cells, but I see nothing out of the ordinary. The font color is set for "automatic". Art |

Negative red numbers are a feature of many of the standard formats. Try
Cells Format, click on the Numbers tab and take a look. You can easily choose whether negative numbers should have parentheses, red font, etc. "ArthurJ" wrote: I have a spreadsheet that came from someone else.

That was simple. After all these years with Excel I admit I've never noticed
the red option in the standard numbers format box! Thanks. "bpeltzer" wrote: Negative red numbers are a feature of many of the standard formats.
