Thsat is a significantly more complex conditional formatting problem that you
originally implied. I'd suggest that you post your detailed description on
the Excel programming board.

Thanks for the response... Here is what I am looking at.

I have 15 rows with entries in them. 7 of those fifteen are invalid
options. When a user selects one of the seven in Cell B30, I want the cell to
become red. The 7 invalid cells are not in a consecutive range and they are
also on sheet 2 of the workbook.

Assuming that you have a limited number of choices in the cells to be
conditionally formatted (e.g. Yes, No, Maybe), you can set up the
conditionally formatting for one cell, then use the Format Painter to copy
the conditional formatting to the cells that you wish to apply the
formatting. Note that you can only set three conditional format levels per
cell (plus a nonconditional format for an entry that does not match any of
your conditions).

Hi,

I want to create a conditional format which will change the color of a cell
depending on the user's choice. The cells which I am referencing are
scattered througout the worksheet (i.e. E84, E88, E90, etc.) How can I set
this conditional format to multiple cells? Or is there a way to set the
conditional format to text within a cell? any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,
