Thanks for trying to help Bob but apparently I am doing something incorrect.
I went into the view code option of the sheet, pasted your code into it and
edited it to fit my values amd added 2 additonal and nothing happens. I no
nothing about writing code unfortunately and am at a loss. Any other thoughts?

An example


'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B4:B35"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Case 3: .Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 4: .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Is there a way to have more than just the 3 conditions in formatting or to
work around it?

I have a range of b4:b35 and I need to highlight cell different colors
depending on cell value..
If cell =0 then fill with red
if cell =1 then fill with yellow
if cell = 2 then fill with green
if cell = 3 then fill with blue
if cell =off then fill with grey

so as of right now I need 5 conditions unless oen of you wonderful experts
out there have an alternative solution for me....

thank you in advance
