Hi,

I am creating a large matrix analysis of for my company. I need the
value of each cell (0 to 1.0) in my matrix to be displayed in different
colors depending on what value band it falls within. I need at least 6
color bands (e.g values less than 0.1 to be blue, values between 0.1
and 0.2 to be green, and so on.).

To clarify I need the CELL BACKGROUND color to be displayed and not the
text displayed according to what color band the value of the cell is.

I know that I can do 3 background colors (color bands) with
"conditional formating" but this is just not enough. I can also change
the text colors with an "IF" function or "LOOKUP" and get the text to
ba changed with all the colors I need.

Does anyone know how to do this?

or does anyone know how to specify the background color of a cell in a
"funtion" [e.g."(green)" fo text color.] as I can then just drop these
into my formulae.

Thanks

A quick response would be great.


Gav
