Use the InsertSymbol... command. It will tell you the character number of the
symbol you want to use. Then put that in an If statement, as in: =if(a1<b1,char(223),char (221)) Does this help? -- Regards, Fred "Templeton" wrote in message ... I want to be able to display up and down arrows pertaining to price movements in a spreadsheet? |

You would do that by formatting the cell.
Anticipating your next question, if you want to use green if the price is up, and red if the price is down, use Conditional formatting. Post back if you want help with either of these. A specific example would be useful so we can help you get exactly what you want. -- Regards, Fred "Templeton" wrote in message ... Thankyou, but is it possible to colour code them as well??

Fred, thanks for that but when I inserted the character reference it would
not accept the formula as the character reference had a combination of Alpha/Numerics. Maybe it's a language issue, or maybe there are specific symbols which you can use in this case. Cell comes up with the #Value error. You are correct in assuming the next question is about conditional formatting, this I can do, it seems to be getting the symbol to display correctly. I could get it to work with an Arabic symbol but not the arrows. Ian T "Fred Smith" wrote: You would do that by formatting the cell.

You lost me. There should be no reason this doesn't work. What formula did you
use? -- Regards, Fred "Templeton" wrote in message ...
