Default Format cell based on cell color

via Conditional Formatting.

There are multiple columns being checked with conditional formatting that
count the number of characters in the column to the left. Each conditional
formatting statement is a Greater Than statement, so if the characters
allowed for that column is exceeded, the cell is highlighted red. I have a
macro that checks several columns between B and AO....now I need to get those
rows to the top.

Thanks,
Jim

How did your cells in Columns B through AO get to be "red filled"...
manually filled with the color or via Conditional Formatting? If Conditional
Formatting, what formula was used?

Is there a way to format the cell in column A "Red Fill" if there is any
cell
in that row in columns B through AO that have a Red filled cell?

If not, is there a way to color the cell in column A if the cell in column
B
is Red filled? If that's possible, I could set up a macro to repeat the
process for the other columns.

Thanks for your help
Jim
