You need to create two conditional formats, one for the up arrow and one for the down arrow.
In Excel 2010: For the up arrow: Select the range starting on cell L7 Go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format Write =L7>=$S$2 on the 'Format values where this formula is true' text box Click on Format On Font Style select Bold On the color dropdown select Green. Click Ok, click Ok again With the same range selected repeat the previous steps but changing the formula and the color.
