I need help figuring out how to change a row color based on a column in that rows data.

example:

col 1 col 2
zack -$10
mike +25

i want zack's row to show up as red and mike's to show up with green. This list view gets its data from a excel file so the data is always getting updated and thats where i m getting stuck. I need to do this when i hit the refresh button so its under a button click that this has to happen

please help...
