I'd like to have the cell background colour change to green or red depending on what I type in the cell, and I would like this to be dependent on the cell above.
So if the A1 cell says 7 and I type 8 into A2 I want A2 to have a red background.
If the A1 cell says 7 and I type 6 into A2 I want the background colour to change to green.
So, to recap, if A2 is less than or greater than A1, I want A2 to change to green or red. And I want to have this happening throughout the entire A column.
If A3 is higher or lower than A2 I want A3's background colour to change to red or green but I'm not bothered about A3 being higher or lower than A1, if you know what I mean? - I only want the cell to change colour based on the cell directly above it.
I am aware of conditional formatting and the option to use formula and also the <> options but I just can't seem to get it to work? I'm using the new Google spreadsheets.
Thanks In Advance Philip.
