Post did not show the arrows. They were replaced with question marks.
Replace the question marks with the following information. Use Alt+24 for the up arrow, and Alt+25 for the down arrow. (Excel 2000) "Charles T.

Hi MWH,
Try the following two-pronged approach: (1) In B2: =If(A2A1, "p","q") Format with Windings3 font. (2) Set conditional formats for the three possible cases: =A1A2 | Font: Bold Red =A1<A2 | Font: Bold Green =A1 =A2 | Font: Normal White --- Regards, Norman "MWH" wrote in message ...

One more question if A2 = A1, i don't want an arrow to show, right now I
always get a down arrow "Norman Jones" wrote in message ... Hi MWH, Try the following two-pronged approach: (1) In B2: =If(A2A1, "p","q") Format with Windings3 font.

Hi MWH,
Just to add, using both of the approaches indicated in my initial reply, the arrows would appear red, green or invisible (white on white background) acoccording to A1A2, A1<A2 or A1=A2. If , therefore, you include the conditional format element, you do not need to use the revised formula. --- Regards, Norman "MWH" wrote in message ...

Ok, Just one more question :) is there a way to concatenate this
formula?=SUM(daily_Totals!F6) and your formula =IF(F8=E8,"",IF(F8E8,"p","q") I'm getting the data from another worksheet, and I would like the up-arrow or down-arrow to show next to the value. I am trying to develop an indicator to track man-hours and show where are our overall gains or losses are coming from. The original data is coming from access and exported to excel. Thanks again!

Hi MWH,
Ok, Just one more question :) is there a way to concatenate this formula?=SUM(daily_Totals!F6) and your formula =IF(F8=E8,"",IF(F8E8,"p","q") It is not apparent what you mean by 'concatenate' in this context. Certainly it is possible to replace one or more of the above cell references with an expressions which return values. For example: = If(SUM(daily_Totals!F6) Some_Value, "p","q") You would, however, need to provide details sufficient for someone to construct an appropriate formula. More particularly, in your initial post you clearly enunciated the A1A2 and A1<2 conditions.. If you can provide similar information for the SUM(daily_Totals!F6) expression, I am sure that solutions will be forthcoming. --- Regards, Norman "MWH" wrote in message ...

My initial value is coming from another worksheet within the workbook
=SUM(daily_Totals!F6). The cell adjacent to contains your formula for showing the arrows =IF(F8=E8,"",IF(F8E8,"p","q") I would like to combine the formula so the cell that contains the value and will show the arrow also.

Hi MWH,
Forgive any obtuseness on my part, but could you explain what values are held in E8 and F8 (using your cell references) and what the relationship of these cells is to the SUM(daily_Totals!F6) value. More particularly, what does the value SUM(daily_Totals!F6) have to exceed for the up arrow and what does it have to be less than for the down arrow to show? --- Regards, Norman "MWH" wrote in message ...

SUM(daily_Totals!F6) is just cell F6 on worksheet "daily_Totals" The values
on worksheet "daily_totals" comes from an access export query. Lets pretend the cell that contains "SUM(daily_Totals!F6)" is B1,I want it to look at A1 to compare the values for the up/down arrows. Am I as clear as mud! :) "Norman Jones" wrote in message ...

Hi MWH,
Lets pretend the cell that contains "SUM(daily_Totals!F6)" is B1,I want it to look at A1 to compare the values for the up/down arrows With the value =SUM(daily_Totals!F6) in B1, to display an arrow in C1 which represents the comparison of the A1 and B1 values, in C1 enter the formula =IF(A1=A2,"",IF(A2A1, "p","q") Format relevant column C cells with the Windings3 font (to show an up or down arrow); Apply conditional formatting to the relevant column c cells to color down arrows green and up arrows red. Now, given your explanation, I would be quie happy with this answer ... were it not that this was my exact response four posts ago!

Hi Norman
MWH wants to dsiplay the arrow in the same cell as the result, hence the question about concatenation. This would mean that his values are turned into text of course. Using the ampersand "&" you can concatenate the two results of the two formulae. the question is whether you still want to be able to do calculations on this cell afterwards. "Norman Jones" wrote: Hi MWH, Just to add, using both of the approaches indicated in my initial reply, the arrows would appear red, green or invisible (white on white background) acoccording to A1A2, A1<A2 or A1=A2.

Hi Kassie,
MWH wants to dsiplay the arrow in the same cell as the result Thank you for this clarification In fact Mark made this clear in subsequent post in a separate thread (see the "Thanks" thread. In the other thread, mark said: I don't want to use a separate cell for the arrow, as I'll have many columns of data over a long period of time. I therefore suggested that Mark consider changing the sheet logic to transpose rows and columns. --- Regards, Norman "Kassie" wrote in message ...
