IF Statements
I have in my spreadsheet a number for Budget and a space for putting in
amounts spent. I have an IF statement which displays the words "YOU HAVE EXCEEDED THE BUDGET FOR THIS SUB-PROJECT" if the amounts spent exceed budget. Is it possible to use the IF statement to display a red flag when this happens?

IF Statements
Actually, you want to use conditional formatting (Format - Conditional Format)
Either set the cell to display red (either change font color, or pattern) when those words or displayed, or use a formula with something like =A1B1 -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Ben Joseph" wrote: I have in my spreadsheet a number for Budget and a space for putting in amounts spent.
