Numberformat
 

Hi,

Selection.NumberFormat = "[Green]#,##0_ ;[Blue]0,##0_;[Red]-#,##0 "

I tried to make a numberformat which gives:

green when positive
blue when zero
red when negative

Help me, please!

Try this

"[Green]#,##0;[Blue]-#,##0;[Red]0"

I assume you want a negative sign in front of a negative number rather than
zero. Also, for zero #,##0 is kind of meaningless.

I couldn't get the Number format to work if a number was
zero either.

But you could try the Conditional Formatting instead -
that works.

If you need to do teh format for a whole range, then
highlight the range before you select conditional
formatting.
