Default Condtional Formatting or LOOKUP ?

Good morning all,



Attached is a snapshot of part of a vineyard mapped out on one sheet and

data relating to that vineyard on another.

I am Really struggling to work out how to show the various ailments of a

particular vine on the map. My first thought was a simple conditional

format so; if a vine had 'red leaf' and that was logged against the

vine, it would show red on the map sheet. However, what happens when a

vine has red leaf AND another condition, shown in a different column.

When you view the sheet you will understand what I mean.

The objective s to be able to look for patterns in the data, or how an

ailment is trcking across the vineyard.

I considered havng a seperate 'map' sheet for each bit of data but this

will not allow the layered view I was hoping for.

If this is possible somehow I also wondered whether a 'filter' would be

able to be used on the map, so that i can select which ailments are

shown.

Any help gratefully received as I am supposed to present this data to

the bosses by tomorrow ! Thank you
