    Change a cell's font color based on conditions

    Hi -

    Having trouble triggering a change in font color of a particular cell. See the attached worksheet and note the call procedure in the Sheet1 code window.

    Whenever the values in cells B4 or B6 change, the value in cell B8 changes as well. What I need is to call a macro that will look at the value in B8,...whenever it changes..., and change the font color to either red or blue based on these conditions:

    If cell B6 is < B4, turn B8 font to Red

    If cell B6 is > B4, turn the cell font to Blue

    First, I can' t figure out how to properly trigger my code to run. And secondly, the if statement in my code doesn't work either????? Here's my code so far:

    1. Your syntax for range reference is incorrect. You are missing Range in front of ("B6") etc in your IF statement.

    2. You'd trigger it using Worksheet_Change event, on cell B6. Since that's the value that is updated manually (i.e. doesn't have formula).

    But for this you don't need VBA. You can use either CF or custom number format.

    Using custom number format.
