I have never used VBA so this might be very basic. I have an excel
spreadsheet and on it is a column that the user can place different initials
to indicate status of client e.g. FU; FR; SU; PE and so on. I am wanting if
its possible to have excel colour the row with a different colour for each
variation.
Can anyone suggest anything please?
