Hi,

I am concatenating 2 numbers - a % growth and an absolute number to a cell in this format xxxxx% / yyyyy (the number of digits are variable)

The question I have is, can I color code the % using custom format (no vba code)? like if % is below a threshold, show red ?

Regards

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
You can conditionally format the entire cell, e.g. to display in red font, if the % component is below a threshold, i.e. conditionally format the cell based on the content of the preceding cell containing the %).

But I think you're asking about having a different font colour only for the % part, i.e. two fonts in the same formula cell. You'd need VBA to do this.

Yes. I am trying to get a font color only for the %.

Thanks for your input. It appears VBA is the only way :(
