Listing 11.20 Conditional Formatting with Traffic Lights
When looking at Listing 11.20, which c overs the conditional formatting for the
traffic lights, you may well be puzzled as to what the -9999 value is doing. The
problem is that in standard Excel the green traffic light always relates to the highest
value. If a high value is bad, then you have to multiply all your values by
minus one. However, you do not want th e value to appear as negative on the
spreadsheet, so in your internal table you can multiply the value by minus one
just before converting it to an Excel object and then change the formatting (Listing
11.21) so that the negative figure looks positive.
