Change Text Colot to RED *IF cell value is positve?
I'm creating a performance monitoring excel sheet for my stock positions. I want the color of my PERCENT RETURN value column to be green if the value is positive and red if it is a negative value. Can I do this in excel? or do I have to create a vba macro? -- Mcasteel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mcasteel's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=15698 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=277997 |

Hi
use 'Format - Conditional Format' for this. see: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html http://www.cpearson.com/excel/cformatting.htm -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Mcasteel wrote: I'm creating a performance monitoring excel sheet for my stock positions.
