Hi All

is there anyone that can help me with a little problem.

I would like to hear, if there is anyone of you that can tell me if it is
possible to get excel to make frames in a cell depending of the contens.

ex.
if I in a cell have a SUM() function that result in a value >10000 then
there should be a frame in the top of the cell, and if it is >15000 then
both a frame in top and one in the bottom of the cell.

Yours

If frames mean borders, it sounds like:
Format|conditional formatting may do what you want.

Hi Dave

Yes it is borders I mean.

but when I in the cell have a if(x<y;z;f) I would like in the condition true
have one type borders, and if it is false another type borders, is that
possible ???

Format|Conditional formatting works with the value in the cell--not the formula.

And you can specify up to 3 different conditional formats for that cell (plus
the "normal" one).

If z and f represent values, you can use:
Cell value is     equal to     15
(format it one way)

Add another condition
Cell value is     equal to     -88.3
(format it another way)

==
Or you could use:
Formula is:
x<y
(apply one format)

formula is:
x>=y
(apply the other format)

Debra's site does a nicer job of explaing this stuff--and it has pictures!

should have been:

One way to work with conditional formatting is to use the value in the cell.
You can use almost any old formula if you choose "Formula is".
