I would like to be able to change the colour of text in a cell depending on the result of a calculation.

I currently have the formula:

=IF(ISBLANK(C5),"",
IF(C21=C5,"Yes",
IF(C21>C5,"No - Lower",
IF(C21<C5,"No - Higher",))))

I would like "Yes" to be amber text, "No - Lower" to be green text and "No - Higher" to be red text.

Is this possible?

All help gratefully received

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Welcome to the board.

The best way to resolve the above is to use conditional formatting - availabe under:

Format> Conditional Formatting...

Please note that conditional formatting is restricted to 3 colors outside of VBA. Which in most cases works well.
