change cell colour

    Morning all ..


    Am after the code to change a cell colour if the value is a minus figure.


    There is a formular within the cell that can either equate to an positive or negative figure .. and would like the cell changed to RED if the figure returns a negative answer.


    Thanks

    Tayler, Lenze


    Conditional formatting will work, sure, but I think the usual Formatting of the cell is better. (although I'm not fully sure)


    Click on the cells, choose Cell formatting, and apply the custom format as in attachment.

    You are of course correct for this particular scenario, provided the OP is only concerned with font color. For background color, CF is needed.;)
