Text box that has either No arrow or Up Arrow or Down Arrow in it.

Guest

I would like to have an arrow entered into a text box, based on my Result
Field. If the number is above a certain number or below a certain number.
Can I do this in conditional formatting?
If I can how would I phrase this?
Is there another way?

If you have a form with 3 text boxes:
txtOne with one number
txtTwo with another number
txtThree where you want to display an up or down arrow
Name: txtThree
Control Source: =Val(txtOne-txtTwo)
Font: Wingdings
Format: \á;\â

If your question is different, please provide greater details.

I have one field named Results, it has 3 conditional formatings. 1st turns
the BackGround red if expression is meet. 2nd turns BG yellow if meet. 3rd
turns BG green if expression is meet. Otherwise the BG stays white. These
numbers are based on the MEAN and STD DEV. So they can be higher or lower
than the mean.
I would like to have field to place an arrow in next to the result, showing
higher or lower.
This is one of my Expressions [Results]<([RangMean]-([RangStdDev]*3))-0.002
Or [Results]>([RangMean]+([RangStdDev]*3))

Have I totaly confused you? Can you help me? Thank You. Diane

Do what I suggested and set the control source to something like:
=[Results]-([RangMean]-([RangStdDev]*3))-0.002

Yes I did what you sugested, it works. But I need it to put in a arrow up if
it is above the mean or and arrow down if it is below mean. How can I do
this? What would the code be to enter it in conditional formating?

I see the wingding fonts and yes I did what you said about the format
property. But what I want to see is a arrow UP (picture) if the Result

below mean.

I get up arrows from the mean number and up. I get down arrows below the mean
number. I do not want and arrow diplayed when the number is on the mean. If I
can't do it any other way this will work. Do you have any ideas?
I thank you for your patience with me.

So this all works except where the values are equal? Then, I assume you
don't want to display anything when the value is 0. This can be done by
setting your Format property to:

Do you understand why any of this is happening? Do you understand why
Wingdings? Do you understand the four parts of a Format property for numeric
values? If not, search Help on numeric format.
