I have a several sheet document that has an index with

to add is a data validation list that if a specific

the row or cells on the associated sheet. Has anyone know
how to accomplished that and if so did you use Macros or VB?
Thanks for any help.

I can send an example of the workbook if necessary.

Here is a non-VB workbook that has cell value coloring.

It even has a gradient cell that changes color based on numeric value
from red at zero to green at full value.

They are on the MS template site.

This one fills entire bands based on a value in a cell

Both are macro free function generated event workbooks.

I am sure there are better and worse methodologies out there.
