    Conditional Formatting...

    Simply: For a cell, I want to display a Red icon if the value in that cell is "1"
    Alternatively, also display a Green icon if the value = "0"

    Intuitively, I'd expect to create a formatting rule like this: Display Red when value = "1" | Type = Number
    But, there is no 'equals' operator.

    Or, I could say: ... when value >= "1"

    Apparently, not as simple as it seems. Having a heck of a time getting the correct icon to display, or any icon at all.

    Help please, thanks.

    It would be helpful to attach your file but I have created one with an example for you. The key is to "Reverse icon order" then set up as shown:

    Thank you. Appears to be the same settings, but still not working.

    How do I attach a file? Clicking the Attachments icon, nothing opens.

    The paper clip icon does not work for attachments. To attach a file, under the text box where you type your reply click the Go Advanced button. On the next screen scroll down and click on Manage Attachments, which will show a pop-up window to Select and Upload a file. Then close the window.

    Your formula is returning strings. It has to return numbers. Change the formula to
