If cell A2 > A1 I would like to show an up arrow next to the value, and visa

Post did not show the arrows. They were replaced with question marks.
Replace the question marks with the following information. Use Alt+24 for
the up arrow, and Alt+25 for the down arrow. (Excel 2000)

Hi MWH,
Try the following two-pronged approach:
(1) In B2: =If(A2>A1, "p","q") Format with Windings3 font.
(2) Set conditional formats for the three possible cases:
=A1>A2 | Font: Bold Red
=A1<A2 | Font: Bold Green
=A1 =A2 | Font: Normal White

One more question if A2 = A1, i don't want an arrow to show, right now I
always get a down arrow
always get a down arrow

Hi MWH,
Try Changing:
=If(A2>A1, "p","q")
To
=IF(A1=A2,"",IF(A2>A1, "p","q")

Hi MWH,
Just to add, using both of the approaches indicated in my initial reply, the
arrows would appear red, green or invisible (white on white background)
acoccording to A1>A2, A1<A2 or A1=A2.
If , therefore, you include the conditional format element, you do not need
to use the revised formula.

Ok, Just one more question 
is there a way to concatenate this
formula?=SUM(daily_Totals!F6) and your formula
=IF(F8=E8,"",IF(F8>E8,"p","q")
I'm getting the data from another worksheet, and I would like
the up-arrow or down-arrow to show next to the value. I am trying to develop
an indicator to track man-hours and show where are our overall gains or
losses are coming from. The original data is coming from access and exported
to excel. Thanks again!

Hi MWH,
It is not apparent what you mean by 'concatenate' in this context.
Certainly it is possible to replace one or more of the above cell references
with an expressions which return values. For example:
= If(SUM(daily_Totals!F6) > Some_Value, "p","q")
You would, however, need to provide details sufficient for someone to
construct an appropriate formula.
More particularly, in your initial post you clearly enunciated the
A1>A2 and A1<2 conditions..
If you can provide similar information for the SUM(daily_Totals!F6)
expression, I am sure that solutions will be forthcoming.

My initial value is coming from another worksheet within the workbook
=SUM(daily_Totals!F6). The cell adjacent to contains your formula for
showing the arrows =IF(F8=E8,"",IF(F8>E8,"p","q") I would like to combine
the formula so the cell that contains the value and will show the arrow
also.

Hi MWH,
Forgive any obtuseness on my part, but could you explain what values are
held in E8 and F8 (using your cell references) and what the relationship of
these cells is to the SUM(daily_Totals!F6) value. More particularly, what
does the value SUM(daily_Totals!F6) have to exceed for the up arrow and
what does it have to be less than for the down arrow to show?

SUM(daily_Totals!F6) is just cell F6 on worksheet "daily_Totals" The values
on worksheet "daily_totals" comes from an access export query. Lets pretend
the cell that contains "SUM(daily_Totals!F6)" is B1,I want it to look at A1
to compare the values for the up/down arrows. Am I as clear as mud!

Hi MWH,
With the value =SUM(daily_Totals!F6) in B1, to display an arrow in C1 which
represents the comparison of the A1 and B1 values, in C1 enter the formula
=IF(A1=A2,"",IF(A2>A1, "p","q")
Format relevant column C cells with the Windings3 font (to show an up or
down arrow); Apply conditional formatting to the relevant column c cells to
color down arrows green and up arrows red.
Now, given your explanation, I would be quie happy with this answer ... were
it not that this was my exact response four posts ago!
I fear that I am missing something!

Hi Norman
MWH wants to dsiplay the arrow in the same cell as the result, hence the
question about concatenation. This would mean that his values are turned
into text of course. Using the ampersand "&" you can concatenate the two
results of the two formulae. the question is whether you still want to be
able to do calculations on this cell afterwards.

Hi Kassie,
Thank you for this clarification
In fact Mark made this clear in subsequent post in a separate thread (see
the "Thanks" thread.
In the other thread, mark said:
I therefore suggested that Mark consider changing the sheet logic to
transpose rows and columns.
