So figures add up, bounce to another sheet then they bounce back to original
sheet so i can reference them and hide rows, genius sorry must have had a
'slow' moment,
Steve.

Maybe I'm being too simple here, but couldn't you just put a reference cell
in your first sheet to equal the averages from the second sheet? You can do
your conditional fomratting at this point, then hide these numbers to make
pretty.

conditional formatting, then highlight cells rules, then greater than, then
minimize wizard go to takt time sheet and click on cell i need to reference
and click ok it says that are cannot use references from other worksheets or
workbooks for conditional formatting criteria?
Bit long winded but hope this helps and thanks for your reply

Conditional formatting will do what you want. Set up as Cell value - is less
then and then click the small icon to the right of the next field. The wizard
will minimise and you can then navigate to any sheet or cell in the workbook.
Maximise the wizard again by re-clicking the icon.

of highlighting on the first sheet any cells that have a figure greater than
on the totals sheet.

another sheet
Any help,
