Changing font color based on positive or negative number
Hello everyone,
I'm attempting to make a budget in Excel and would like to format a cell to turn bold and red when the sum equals a negative number and for the cell to turn bold and black when the sum equals a positive number. I believe there is a way to do it but I'm not sure how to go about doing so. Any help you can provide would be great. Thanks! |

Hi Joe
Use conditional formatting. Find it in the format menu. Happy New Year!

Changing font color based on positive or negative number
You can use NumberFormat. The -ve format is between the 1st & {optional) 2nd
semi-colons. Look at the examples in Custom, or simply "General;[Red]-General" without the quotes. Programatically, dim rng as Range dim sNumFmt as string sNumFmt = "#,##0.00;[Red]-#,##0.00;[Blue]""zero""" set rng = Selection rng.NumberFormat = sNumFmt Regards, Peter T "Joe" wrote in message ...
