Hi

I'm facing a problem from last month but I'm not able to put conditional
formatting with Icons.

If somebody can help as its really urgent for me !!!!!

I have values for two months - Current and Previous. If current month's
value is closer to zero than previous month's value then i want to show a
green arrow. If current month's value is away from zero than previous
month's value then i want to show a red arrow. Though these values are
positive and negative both, i need to apply conditional formatting on
absolute values.

e.g.

previous Current Arrow Colour
1.2% 2.4% Red Arrow
1.2% -2.4% Red Arrow
-1.2% 2.4% Red Arrow
-1.2% -2.4% Red Arrow

-2.4% 1.2% Green Arrow
-2.4% -1.2% Green Arrow
2.4% -1.2% Green Arrow
2.4% 1.2% Green Arrow

But the conditional formatting will be applied on absolute values and I want
to put the condition in same cell in which the current month values are
shown.

Any help will be appreciated..

Regards,
Miki

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
