Default Formating excel

Hi All

is there anyone that can help me with a little problem.

I would like to hear, if there is anyone of you that can tell me if it is
possible to get excel to make frames in a cell depending of the contens.

ex.
if I in a cell have a SUM() function that result in a value 10000 then
there should be a frame in the top of the cell, and if it is 15000 then
both a frame in top and one in the bottom of the cell.

Yours

Bent Lauridsen / Bamsefar

If frames mean borders, it sounds like:
Format|conditional formatting may do what you want.

Format|Conditional formatting works with the value in the cell--not the formula.

And you can specify up to 3 different conditional formats for that cell (plus
the "normal" one).

If z and f represent values, you can use:
Cell value is equal to 15
(format it one way)

Add another condition
Cell value is equal to -88.3
(format it another way)

==
Or you could use:
Formula is:
x<y
(apply one format)

formula is:
x=y
(apply the other format)

Debra's site does a nicer job of explaing this stuff--and it has pictures!

One way to work with conditional formatting is to use the value in the cell.
You can use almost any old formula if you choose "Formula is".
