You will know if you are using validation as when you click the cell you
get a dropdown arrow/box appear, anyway, are you using conditional
formatting to colour the original cells?

Hi Simon

As far as I know, I am not using data validation on those cells. Will
that
make a difference? To be honest I don't know whether I am or not!

Many thanks for your help,

As i pointed out earlier the code given will not pick up condtional
formatting, are you also using data validation on those cells? (L5,
Q5,
V5)

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.

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,
