Is there a formula to indicate the change in status direction if updated in a given time?

Rick_Bailey

I want to indicate with up/down arrows in a separate column, if the RYG status for a line item has changed direction in the last X days. e.g. if status went from Red to Yellow, Red to Green, Yellow to Green in the last 30 days - show an upward arrow; if status went from Green to Yellow, Yellow to Red, or Green to Red in the last 30 days- show a downward arrow symbol. is that possible?

Thanks,

Rick

You would have to setup a second sheet to collect the history, then cross refence that sheet to see what the last entry was.

Here are two examples of something similar

This might help.

Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
