How can I colour format all cells based on their values
You don't need to use CF if you use Bob's code.
The Select Case.Value looks after the colors.
Which cell(s) do you want colored and which cell(s) are the trigger cell(s)?

Hi Bob,
After you have done this - how do you use conditional formatting - it still
only allows 3 conditions?
Based on the values of another cell - I have to set the backcolor to one of
five colours.
Thanks

I would be grateful if someone could help me through this process - I need
to
colour code numbers 1 to 5. The conditioning statement only allows you 3
chances.
