Show autoshape based on cell value

[KrisLB]

I have two autoshapes and a particular value in a cell. I want to show a particular autoshape (autoshape1) if cell value < 0 and show autoshape2 if cell value > 0. Any way to do this using formulas and no code?

--

if x > 0,
show autoshape1
else if x < 0
show autoshape2
[implied x=0 show nothing]

Yes. Check out Charley Kyd's site for an explanation on how to do it.

Positioning and auto-aligning objects

Does anyone know if any alignment or auto-positioning tools/options exists for these objects?

I have a list of centered financials. I am wanting a positive arrow to appear immediately before a measure to signify an increase, and a negative/downward arrow to signify a decrease. If I align all the arrows vertically, not a problem, but since the sheet requires the arrows to be spaced close to the the individuals measures, anyone aware how to do this?
