I'm trying to get an excel invoice to recognize negative numbers. I only have one condition running and it is "cell value is between -1000 and 1000" the format of the cell is currency, but it's still not recognizing negative numbers. can anyone help please!!!
 
Are you sure your value is entered as a number and not text?

For example, if the cell in question is A1, does the following formula return TRUE?

=ISNUMBER(A1)

If not, your value is entered as TEXT and that is why it is not working.
