Your post is an excellent way to avoid excessive IFs

Hi Anthony

Assuming your 1st set of numbers is held in A1 and your second set in A2

The criteria for setting Blue for cell E14 with CF, would be
=ISNUMBER(FIND(E14,A1))
and for Red would be
=ISNUMBER(FIND(E14,A2))

Hi,
Cell E14 will contain two sets of numbers
1st set = 1p,10p,20p,30p,£1,£50,£600
2nd set = £1000,£15000,£20000

I want the colour of Cell E14 to be blue, ie
Code:
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 41
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 2

if any of the values is equal to 1st set as above

or

the colour of cell E14 to be red, ie
Code:
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 2

if any of the values is equal to the 2nd set as above,
Cell E14 will only contain one number at a time from any of the two
sets of
numbers.
I just need the cell to be red or blue accordingly depending which
number
from which set is chosen
any ideas code/and or formula ??
thanks
