  I am trying to conditional format numbers, and also tried vba. I want to format 4 ways. >0, <0>-100, <-100>-200, <-200. Can get first 2 working but hit a wall with more than 1 negative value to format.

  Needed to change the colour of the font based on if the number had gone up or down from its start point. Search Google, found your post and it answered my question immediately. Huge thanks and great work. Neil

  Can anyone tell me if this is something I feel wrong. I have the same scenario with texts in many cells. And when the conditional formatting was applied, yes the colors are showing up right. But I find a problem that the fonts get defaulted to Calibri, the font alignment becomes Left Aligned.
  Is this a general Excel issue or am I not doing this the proper way?

  This site is completely worthless. I have a Mac and my Excel does not have anything like the fields above.

    This is good information. Your mistake was buying a Mac - they just don't work. I'm using Office 2013 on Win8.1 x64 and it's just fine.
