    Change cell colour with IF formula

    I want to change a blank cell next to a value in another cell to show a colour.

    I am thinking =IF(E5>90,"green","red")

    The formula would be written in E6 next to the value in E5.

    Can i do this to show the colour green or red next to the value to say if it is higher or lower than 90?

    Thanks for comments.

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
