Can I color one cell two colors?

Guest

My IT director has asked me how to duplicate something someone else sent in a
document: a table in excel with the top left-hand cell divided diagonally.
I've gotten that far with borders. The trick is, it's also two colors: one
above the diagonal and one below.

I can't seem to find any information on how to manage the color part.

The only way I know how to do that is to add a couple of shapes (triangles???)
that divide the cell. Then color each shape the way you want.

View>Toolbars. Open the Drawing Toolbar then Autoshapes>Basic Shapes.

Select the triangle tool and you are away.
