    Rule to automatically highlight cells if within a certain amount

    Hi,

    How can I create a rule to automatically highlight/fill a cell (let's say, the yellow color) whose calculated value is within a certain range ?

    For example, let's say I have a cell whose value is generated from the addition or subtraction of other cells,
    and if the resulting number is negative, I want that cell to automatically be highlighted so as to make it easier to see on a large spreadsheet with lots of data.

    Thank you.

    Hi Pancho,

    You are looking for Conditional Formatting in a cell. It has a "between" function. See:

    http://www.cpearson.com/excel/cformatting.htm

    It is a little different, depending on which version of Excel you are using. Please update your profile so we can see which version you have.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Bingo.

    I don't know the Excel version ; it's not on my laptop (Excel isn't).
