Here is just an example using cell A1. When a value is calculated, the
background color of the cell is set to the colorindex of the value. Put the
following event macro in the worksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Set t = Range("A1")
With t
If .Value 56 Then Exit Sub
.Interior.ColorIndex = .Value
End With
End Sub

This will work if the value in A1 is determined by a formula.
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

Dear All,

Pls help with VBA code for the following case.

Similar to conditional formating, when a particular text or value is entered
in worksheet the color index to change. I know we can do it in conditional
format, but I need around 7 conditions.
Thanks in advance for immediate help.
