Could someone please help me write a macro that changes the colorIndex of a
cell based on it's value. I want all positive numbers in my selection to be
green and all negative numbers to be red... this should be easy but I need
help!

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Try using conditional formatting:

Data | Conditional formatting...

Condition1
Formula is: =A1=0
Format | select a green pattern

Condition 2
Condition1
Formula is: =A1<0
Format | select a red pattern

Or use a custom cell format

0.00;[Red]-0.00

Hi, Best doing this with conditional formatting, choose your cell select
Formats, Conditional Formatting then click the drop down box next to
Cell Is and select Formula is, assuming you are using Cell A1 type in
the box =A10 then choose formats, patterns and then select your
colour, now click add do the same as above only this time type =A1<0
and choose formats, patterns and your colour, then copy the cell over
as many as you like.

Hope this helps!

regards,

Simon
