Thanks for the response, unfortunately I have no experience of VBA.
Can you point me at a good online resource covering the basics of VBA with
EXCEL

Thanks

Hi Chris...........
Five levels of conditional formatting can be attained with VBA, but one must
still specify the criteria for the Priority Assignment.....if not the
contents of a cell, then perhaps another column devoted to Priority.

A group of 20 adjacent cells within a row are manually colour coded based

I would like to change background colour of other cells within the row to
match the highest priority colour
I have looked at conditional formatting but it does not give ability to
check a cells formatting, only its contents
Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted
