@sksanjeev786 why not use the built in conditional formatting icons (assuming that the green 17 in post one is incorrect and that the exact shade of red and green isn't that important)?

@sksanjeev786 What result do you get with the code below?

Please note that I have used the color code for green based on your xl2bb in post one, as the RGB numbers you posted for green do not come out as green for me (this might need adjusting as I can't 100% trust that the XL2BB is exact).

Obviously I still think you need to look at the green up arrow in D9

VBA Code:
Sub ColorArrow2()
    Dim myCell As Range
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For Each myCell In Range("A1:G11")
        
        If myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then
            myCell.Offset(14).Value = myCell.Value
        Else
            If myCell.Interior.Color = 5296274 Then  '  The RGB you quoted doesn't come out as green to me
                myCell.Offset(14) = myCell.Value & "    " & ChrW(9650)
                myCell.Offset(14).Characters(Len(myCell.Offset(14))).Font.Color = 5296274
            Else
                myCell.Offset(14) = myCell.Value & "    " & ChrW(9660)
                myCell.Offset(14).Characters(Len(myCell.Offset(14))).Font.Color = 255
            End If
        End If

    Next
    
    Range("A15:G25").HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft

End Sub

The results I get with the code are...

Hi,

To do this, you must use the "symbol" menu to insert the arrows into any cell. T.K. These are ordinary characters, they need to be copy, go into the cell format and choose the last item "Custom". We write 0 into the line "type" and insert the arrow up next to it. We do the same with another arrow. As a result, you will have two entries with arrows in your user format list. Next, edit conditional formatting rules. To do this, for each of them, install the cell format, I choose the early added "0" with the arrow. Until you indicate the range of cells for which these rules will work. You have in the first rule, formatting will only be applied to cell "A".
