Hello,

I am looking for support to change a cell color based on whether or not it is an increase or decrease from the previous value.

For example if A1 is "1" and I manually changed it to "2", A1 fill color would change to green (increase) and if A1 was manually changed to 0, the color would change to red (decrease).

Thank you!

        Application.EnableEvents = False
    On Error Resume Next
            Application.Undo
            OldValue = Target.Value
            Application.Undo
            NewValue = Target.Value
            
            If NewValue > OldValue And OldValue <> "" Then
                With Target
                    With .Interior
                        .Pattern = xlSolid
                        .Color = RGB(170, 207, 140)
                    End With
                    With .Font
                        .Color = RGB(55, 85, 35)
                    End With
                End With
            ElseIf NewValue < OldValue And OldValue <> "" Then
                With Target
                    With .Interior

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

I like what you did there, but just thinking by reading what's here. Should the second undo be a redo instead?
