Hi
I have been researching this for a while but still can't seem to get my head around this. I have an excel sheet that does the following:
<tbody>
</tbody>
P1 and P2 have a data set that is linked to a third party app in excel. the values changes by the seconds or minutes. So E2:F4 is a dataset of changing values.
A2 is a formula that say '=E2+F2'. This is the same for A3('=E3+F3') and A4('=E4+F4') etc. I'm trying to change cell.interior.colorindex of A2 base on previous value. so example if at T0 A2 is 70 and T+1 A2 is 69. Then cell of A2 will be red. if T0 A2 is 70 and T+1 A2 is 73, A2 will change color to green. and it resets to no colors if the values say for E2 and F2 changes but T0 A2 = T+1 A2. it is smth similar to the stock board ticker where u can see green and red moving up and down. How do i account if i have a range of data say A1:D100? i dont suppose i code each and individual cell because that would just be very heavy in terms of calculations.
Any help would be appreciated. i know i have to use VBA for this as conditional formatting doesn't work. is there a way to check using arrays? i have limited programming background on this and is not too sure how i can use array to store the previous value to counter check and apply the color changes.
Thanks.
Regards,
Joseph
