Default change cell colour when cell data changes

Your question is still ambiguous: what should happen if user changes the
original zero value to 0.5?
Should color be yellow in order to satisfy the 1st condition ("anything from
blank or zero to 1.0 cell colour is yellow")
or red in order to satisfy the 2nd condition (User changed to a value
between zero and 10.0)?

I'm not sure what you mean either.

I don't have a problem with refreshing to the original colour. What I can't
work out how to do is to change the cell from the original colour to a new
colour if the value in the cell changes. I tried one of the other options
mentioned in someone elses post but as soon as I enter on the cell it changes
which I don't want. It only needs to change under say the following example:

orginal value = anything from blank or zero to 1.0 cell colour is yellow
Users changes to anything from blank, zero to 10.0 colour is now red

Any ideas?

One way using CF:
Create a background copy of the worksheet at each refreshment and apply CF
with this formula:
=A1<background!A1

Hi

I've built a resource planning spreadsheet that is populated by macros.
In
each month (in columns) it populates with 1 if there is a person in the
position or may be blank or 0 if the position is vacant. The spreadsheet
goes
out to 2014 monthly. The 12 months of each year are colour coded as one
colour. I have been asked to have the cell colour change if the user
changes
the value of the cell.

The spreadsheet will be periodically refreshed by the macro and saved as
a
new version so the orginal colours need to be reinstated with and changes
then causing the cell to be changed.

I can't get it to work with conditional formatting, any suggestions?
