    Hey you can do that with conditional formatting, do you have a sample worksheet so I can modify and explain you how? and a expected result for that worksheet?

    Hi,

    Use

    "+"0;"-"0

    as a normal format for the cell and use one conditional format to format values <0 as red and another cond. format to format values > 0 as green.
