Text Function - Custom Format ( Re-posted from Misc still lookingfor answer )
See one more reply in .misc.
"Gav !!" wrote: Folks I posted this in Misc - had a response thanks Richard - but it hasn't really answered my question - could Tom or John or Chip or Deb or Myrna or one of you many other gurus give me an idea if I am throwing good after bad or is this possible. Is it possible to do a custom number format into the text function which will allow me to colour the text similar to conditional formatting. The problem i have is in one of the reports I have the staff have used one cell to try and put 2 entries in with a slash in between. Say this is a target value / agreed value and then at the end of the month I will get an actual value in another cell which I will want to compare against each and give a percentage increase or decrease. I have managed to write a formula to seperate the values and give a percentage back using the text function but now I want to highlight the increase ( good as green ) and decrease ( bad as red ) within the formula if I can. Is this possible eg.. this is in cell E51 21,571 / 21,334 this is the actual in F51 20,462 The Formula I have is =TEXT((TRIM(LEFT(E51,FIND("/",E51,1)-1))-F51)/(TRIM(LEFT(E51,FIND("/",E51,1) -1)))%,"00")&"%"&" / "&TEXT((TRIM(RIGHT(E51,FIND("/",E51,1)-1))-F51)/(TRIM(RIGHT(E51,FIND("/",E51 ,1)-1)))%,"00")&"%" What I would like is instead of "00" as the format to now apply the rules I mentioned earlier as a custom format so that if there is an increase or decrease the format will be acknowledged sort of like [Red}-00 Is this possible or can anyone suggest a better way of doing this without increasing number of cells ??? Thanks in advance Gav !! -- Dave Peterson |
