The field (E$5) that will determine the color of the row (E1:E15), is a zipcode and there are 98 poosible entries for this. To avoid having 98 rules (the 98 zip codes are divided up between 6 people). I am trying to use VLOOKUP to determine the color (6 total colors, so 6 rules), but am having problems.

I am using this without luck:

VLOOKUP(E$5,Territories,4,FALSE)="Territory1"

When I use this, it converts it to this:

="VLOOKUP(E$5,Territories,4,FALSE)=""Territory1""

Any ideas or suggestions on how to do this through VB?

Thanks in advance for your help,

or try it in Tracker sheet code module in this way:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("E:E")) Is Nothing _
Or Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

With WorksheetFunction
If .CountIf(Sheets("Territories").Range("A1:A20000"), Target) > 0
Then
Range("E" & Target.Row & ":O" & Target.Row) _
.Interior.Color = .Index(Sheets("Territories") _
.Range("Territories"), .Match(Target, Sheets("Territories")
_
.Range("A1:A20000"), 0), 1).Interior.Color
Else
Range("E" & Target.Row & ":O" & Target.Row) _
.Interior.Color = xlNone
End If
End With
End Sub

You have to color all entries in column A in sheet Territories
