formula for colour
Hi Zafar,
glad the last suggestion worked for you. As regards the colouring of cells, highlight all the cells and click the colour icon to select Blue. Then use Format | Cells | Number (tab) and select Custom at the bottom of the list. In the panel under Type enter this: 0;[Red]-0 and click OK. This will give you blue numbers if they are +ve and red numbers if they are -ve. Hope this helps.

If you simply want to show negative numbers as red and positive numbers as
blue then conditional formatting will do the trick. select cell and click Format Conditional formatting and the rest is fairly intuative. If the cell contains a - or + sign as text then likewise conditional format will work but use 'if cell is equal to "-" or "+" "vlook fomula" wrote: can i use any formula for colour example i have a some col. in a work sheet one of them have different figures like with + sign and - sign. i want to show all - sign with colour red and +sign with blue i will be gratefull if any body help me and i would like to thanks pete too to solve my previous problem. regards zafar |
