    Sum up function and gives alert message

    Dears,

    A daily sum of values from several columns is to added to a basal negative number that each day increases by this sum up.
    when this basal number approaches zero a blink or alert message is opened in the box.

    Please see attached file

    thanx

    Hi,

    One way would be to add a SUM formula to L3 and use a conditional format to paint it say red when it approaches zero. Of course you'll need to define what youj mean by 'approaches'.

    So use a simple

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and then a conditional format set to fill the cell with red

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.


    this will show red when the number is larger than -20.

    1. I want the cell gives a text message when it becomes zero or more.
    2. the count starts from the beginning the day after it reached zero.

    thanx

    That may indeed be so, but that isn't what you asked for in post #1. We can only react to what you tell us.
