concatenation
In Excel 2007, I have 2 columns, A & B.
I am referencing cells A39 and F39. A39 is a text cell. F39 is a red colored number cell. I used the formula: =A39&" "&F39. I get the result: Bathtubs -154 (the -154 value turned from red to black). That is great but how do you conditional format the -154 value to be: Green is positive and red for negative. I don't have any trouble if the cell just has a number in it but i can't get conditional formatting to work when doing a concatanation. Thanks |

Hi Charles
With CF, the whole cell can only take one colour. So, you could have "Bathtubs -154" all in Red, or "Bathtubs 350" all in Green. This you would achieve by setting the CF as =F39=0 Format Green =F39<0 Format Red Otherwise you will need to avoid concatenation, and use 2 cells with the cell holding A39 formatted Right, and the cell holding F39 formatted Left with an Indent of 1 -- Regards Roger Govier "Charles Eaves" wrote in message ...
