There are several limits of 32 in pre XL 2007 versions:

While your scenario is not mentioned specifically in the link I give, it's
probably safe to assume that you've hit an XL limit.

I understand your answer... but this was just a test. My user wants to be
able to visually link all cells he is working with..Your answer of course is
a correct way to do it. THe way the user create his workbook needs the cell
individually colored. And as I stated earlier seems to be a limit on the
color coding,

If your formula is trying to add the numbers, why don't you use =SUM(B3:B35)

Hello,

I have a user with an coloring issue with formulas. If we add more than 32
cells in a column the colors do not turn on. If only 32 cells all cells
are
color coded.as the example below: all cells are colored in edit mode

=B3+B4+B5+B6+B7+B8+B9+B10+B11+B12+B13+B14+B15+B16+ B17+B18+B19+B20+B21+B22+B23+B24+B25+B26+B27+B28+B2 9+B30+B31+B32+B33+B34

This formula with 33 cells included do not get colored in edit mode.
=B3+B4+B5+B6+B7+B8+B9+B10+B11+B12+B13+B14+B15+B16+ B17+B18+B19+B20+B21+B22+B23+B24+B25+B26+B27+B28+B2 9+B30+B31+B32+B33+B34+B35


Is this a limitation with excel. the number 32 leads me to believe this. I
cannot find any info on this issue. I am not using code to do this just
the
gui itself..

Any help would be awesome..
Thanks in Advance.
