Good morning.
Is it possible in some way to format the results of a query, like changing for example the background color of a selected row of the result to higlight negative values?
Thanks.

A:
No - SQL Server Management Studio is a tool to manipulate data and SQL queries - not a presentation tool.
If you need to highlight or color cells, you're best bet is to export your result grid into Excel and apply those formatting rules there.

Yup. Or use SQL Server Reporting Services, which is entirely designed for formatting SQL results in a variety of ways.http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/reporting.aspx
