here is what i want to write in cell B5:
=IF(F61)THEN(COLORCELL(GREEN))ELSE(COLORCELL(RED) )


just to explain my situation a bit more, so perhaps someone has a
better way if what i want to do isnt possible... i bus in a restaurant,
and am creating a spreadsheet logging my income.

i have my total tips in B6, and my total salary in D6. I want to write
the ratio of tips to salary, and salary to tips, and i want whichever
one is the higher ratio to be green, while the other is red.

what i did was write
E6 'tips are'
E7 =(B6/D6)
E8 'x salary'
E9 'salary is'
E10 =(D6/B6)
E11 'x tips'

and i put conditional formatting on e7 and e10 in order to color them,
i just dont know how to color the cells with the text in it


Appreciate your help!
