Hi Lawrence
I hope I'm understanding you on this, but it sounds like you may need to use Conditional Formatting which will pick up when you hit a certain number (e.g. 10 or more) and will autmatically highlight the text (e.g. green).
Sample file is attached.
If this is useful, you can find Conditional Formatting via:
- Highlight the cells you want to use (e.g. the cells that will have the assembled components # figure).
- Go to the Home tab in the ribbon menu, open Conditional Formatting.
- Open Highlight Cells Rules > Greater Than...
- Enter your desired number (e.g. 9 will mean that anything 10 and above will change colour).
- In the drop down list, select your desired format (e.g. Green Fill with Dark Green Text).
- Click OK.
- Type a number into one of the (conditionally formatted) cells and test the results.
I hope that helps?
Cheers
Damien
