Hi Jacob,

I am really sorry but I cannot get this to work. Let me try to spell out
exactly what I am doing, please bear with me:

1. I am using excel 2007
2. Macros are enabled.
3. I have taken your code and using the "View Code" on sheet1, I have
placed the code in the opened macro window.
4. In the top of the macro window, left box = Worsheet, in the right box=
SelectionChange
5. I have saved the macro in the window using "CTRL S".
6. I exit and return to sheet1.
7. On clicking on AD5, I have a red cell without any numbers in the cell.

Further information:

L5, Q5 and V5 have condtional formatting which generate 3 green cells and
three dates. So this should create a green cell in AD5 with a number 1 in
it. As I said, I am getting a red cell in AD5 with a zero. I would like to
apply this macro to the rest of the cells underneath L5,Q5,V5 and AD5;
hopefully, if I can get the above resolved.

In addition, I have several other macros running under "ThisWorkbook".

I hope this is a better explanation of what is going on.

Many thanks once again for your help and support.

Are you sure macros are enabled. (Tools|Macro|Security).

The change happens during the selection change event.

Hi Jacob

The colour is correct. It is number 4. However, I am still unable to get
the conditionally formatted (green (4) coloured cells) L5, Q5, V5 to be
picked up in cell AD5 and get a result of green with a number 1 in it. In
addition, I want all the cells below L5, Q5, V5 to be applied to the cells
below AD5, in the same way. I hope this makes sense.

Many thanks,

To find out the right color, first color the cell Q5. Launch VBE using
Alt+F11 and from menu ViewImmediate Window Or (Ctrl+G). In immediate window
type

?Range("Q5").Interior.ColorIndex

and Enter; that will return the color index. In the below code change all 4
to this new color index. The change happens during the selection change
event. Try and feedback.

Many thanks for your help. I have placed the macro under module1, however,
even though the cells are green (?) I obtain a red in cell AD5 with a zero.
Just one point the green cells for L5, Q5, V5 are generated using conditional
formatting. I am not sure if this is a bright green (4). Perhaps, this is
what is generating the red in cell AD5. How can I find out if I am using the
right colour?

Thank you.

You will have to make use of VBA to acheive this...Right click on the
sheetView and paste the below code. If you are new to macros set the
Security level to low/medium in (Tools|Macro|Security).

The color referred here is 'Bright Green'. Change the color index as needed.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Range("L5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 And _
Range("Q5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 And _
Range("V5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Then
Range("AD5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Range("AD5") = 1
Else
Range("AD5").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Range("AD5") = 0
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Please can you help me with the following problem:

I have three cells: L5, Q5 and V5, which when I colour green, then I would
like for cell AD5 to be automatically coloured green and a number 1 be placed
in it.

If on the other hand cells L5, Q5, V5 are any other colour, then cell AD5
should be coloured red and a zero to be placed in it.

Please can you help me to devise a method of doing this.

Many thanks for your help and support,
