Basically, every time something changes in that sheet, the
code below will be run.

It first checkes whether the range being changed is in
cells B7:U29

If it is, it looks at the value of the changed cell. The
value within the cell determines the colour it is changed
to.

Hope this helps

I have been sent this little ditty. Apparently it allows
you to turn
cells a certain colour depending on the value entered in
it.
Conditional formatting does not only limits you to 3
choices.

Can anyone explain it to me & how to get started as I
have not used the
VB part of Excel much.

Many thanks.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B7:U29")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target.Text
Case Is = "H"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Is = "M"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 45
Case Is = "L"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Case Is = "U"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 41
Case Is = "N"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 50
Case Else
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
End If
End Sub
