colour in formats
I have been reqeusted to produce a spreadsheet to which a cell will have a three digit positive number (but can be text or even a formula if needed) in it such as 747. I need the contents of this cell to change colour depending on the results of a formula in another cell. (Is one cell smaller, equal to, or larger than another cell). Red if negative. Blue if 0. Green if positive. Can somebody please help me with this Thanks Martin -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...nfo&userid=191 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=537232 |

You may want to try Format|Conditional formatting.
You can use the results of other cells in your rule. Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html in particular: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat02.html Martin wrote: I have been reqeusted to produce a spreadsheet to which a cell will have a three digit positive number (but can be text or even a formula if needed) in it such as 747.

Take a look at "Conditional Formatting" in XL Help.
For example: Select your cell (say, A1 which should be colored based on cell B1). Set the dropdowns and textboxes to read: CF1: Formula is =A1<B1 Format1: <font/<red CF2: Formula is =A1=B1 Format2: <font/<blue Format A1's font as green.
