LP i can help you here, use conditional formatting, which simply turns text red ir what ever colour you want it if the number drops below a set figure in the cell or cells.
mail it over to me and i can show you if you like |

Very easy...
just select all the cells you want with this format, click on the Format menu, Conditional formatting:
in box 1 Choose "Cell value is" and in box 2 "less then". In box 3 type 50 and then Click format and choose the red fill for the cell. Click ok, ok and voila |

Lets play a game shall we?
It's called "spot the conditional formatting button";

Whilst on the subject of excel.............
I need a total of figures from different sheets in a workbook.
Eg. I have a VAT figure on sheet1, a VAT figure on sheet 2 and a VAT figure on sheet 3. On sheet 4, the summary sheet, I want a total of the figures in sheet 1,2 & 3. At the moment im doing this manually but how can i get excel to aid me?
Thanks. |

You won't see it by right clicking on a cell.
If you can't see it (like fonty's page) try right clicking in the empty space on the toolbar (next to the find buttons) and choose the styles toolbar..... I'm just guessing this step as i don't use MS Office 2007 but have a good idea of how office usually works.
Failing that just type conditional formatting in help and it'll show you how to do it. |

Tricky - type "=sum(" into the cell you want your total in then go to your first worksheet and click the cell you want the figure from then go back to summary sheet and type a "," then go to sheet 2 and select the cell there and type another "," on the summary sheet do the same for the third sheet and instead of a "," put a ")"
So the writing in the box should look like this "=SUM(Sheet1!C16,Sheet2!B11,Sheet3!B10)" without the speach marks |
