Paste that code behind the sheet (right-click the sheet and paste into the
window that opens). Then go back to the sheet and type ACT into Cell A1.
What happens?

Strange...still not working. I must be missing something.

The code Ryan posted works automatically (similar to how Conditional
Formatting would have)... type one of your codes into a cell within the
range you changed the example Range("A:Z") to and it should become colored
in (with the exception maybe of BLD since Black, on my system is showing as
white).

Is there something else I need to do besides change the range? This
doesn't
appear to do anything.

Yes, the values a ACT, BLD, BUD, CV, CVA, IRL, REV, and each one
would
have a different color, and if it were any other value there would be
no
color needed. This should be the entire list of possible values.
Thanks!

Can you give us a hint what those 6-8 different values might be (or
look
like)? And are you saying you will not know in advance how many
different
values there might be? If so, is there a maximum number of different
values
possible? Also, I'm guessing you will want a different color for each
different value, right?

I have a worksheet with data in A27:O250, and I need to color code
each
individual row based on the value in column C of that row. There
will be
at
least 6-8 different values in column C from which I need to base
the row
color from, so conditional formatting won't work. Any help is
greatly
appreciated!

Thanks
