I'd like the text in one cell to change if the value
of another cell becomes negative. How can I get that to
happen?

Hi

something along the lines of

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value < 0 Then
Range("b1").Value = "a1 is negative"
Else
Range("b1").Value = "a1 is positive"
End If
End If
End Sub

this needs to go in the sheet module of the sheet that you working on (right
mouse click on the sheet tab, choose view code & paste the code there)

Hope this helps
Cheers

In the cell where the text should appear, you can use an IF formula. For
example:

=IF(B2<0,"Value is negative","Value is positive")

Of course the 1 should be a zero

=if(A1<0,"A1 is negative","Non Negative Text")
