IF CONDITION & Arrow instead of color

P

Polina

If I have created conditional formatting is there any way to instead having
it turn a color have it instead let an arrow up or down appear?

Just change your formula to

=IF(YourCondition,CHAR(173),CHAR(175)) and Format>Cells>Font, Symbol

I think that Nick is suggesting you don't use conditional formatting.

If you put his formula in an adjacent cell, you get your arrow alongside.

In A1, enter 0 (zero)
In A2, enter =A1+1
Fill down 255 cells.
In B1, enter =CHAR(A1)
Fill down by double-clicking the tiny square in the right-hand bottom corner
of the cell.
Format as Symbol.

In A1 enter =CHAR(ROW()) and drag down works well.
