Hi Neils
here's a VBA solution i posted earlier to a similar question
as there's more than 3 conditions you can't use conditional formatting,
however the following code pasted into the "sheet module" of the sheet -
right mouse click on the sheet tab and choose view / code
you should see on the top left of the VBE window your file name in bold (if
not try view / project explorer) and the sheet that you were on selected ...
that's the "sheet module" ... if
the wrong sheet is selected then just double click on the correct one
on the right you should see some white space - copy & paste the code in
there -
assuming you want the conditional formatting to work on cell B6
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B6")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 4
Case 2: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 3
Case 3: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 0
Case 4: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 6
Case 5: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 13
Case 6: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 46
Case 7: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 11
Case 8: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 7
Case 9: Range("B6").Font.ColorIndex = 55
End Select
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
--- this turns the font of B6 a different colour depending on what value
(between 1 & 9) is entered in the cell.
if you'ld like additonal help with your criteria & formatting statements,
please feel free to post back with more details.
Cheers
