calc conditional color of character

Hey Gang:

I have the following in cell H43: =IF(H42="",“O”,“R”) OPEN or RESPONDED respectively.

The formula works just like I wanted. However, what I would like to do is have the O stand out in RED. What would be the easiest way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Rich Ramik

Hello. You can use STYLE function to apply predefined style to the cell. Documentation on the STYLE functions can be found here

Your formula could look like:

=IF(H42="";"O"&T(STYLE("Bad"));"R"&T(STYLE("Good")))
