Hello,

I am looking for a format to place into conditional format or even a
macro
that will alert me on a set occasion. I have data for 4 people on
shifts
over the next 6 months, what I need is a format to turn a cel red if
the
text in it is a D/S for example.

Sunday = N/S
Monday = D/S (I need this cell to turn red as a warning if this
happens)

Cell a1 = N/S
Cella2 = D/S

And so on for the range of 6 months.

Can anyone help me on this problem.

Regards

Mark
