Comparing Two Values & Indicate Trend

  • Hi,


    In excel i want to compare two values and indicate increase or decrease in the trend using color & bold


    for example


    Sep. (Revenue) - Oct. (Revenue)


    100 - [COLOR="SeaGreen"]200[/COLOR]


    Comparing the two values, if the october value is greater than september value then, the oct. value has to be shown in bold & green, like above one


    If the oct value is less than september value then, the oct. value has to be shown in bold & red.


    I am not a good programmer in vb. nor have good macro programming knowledge.


    Please enlighten me, How to achieve this. Please Help!
