That was my first effort at this problem, and thus the
reason I'm looking for help. :-)
These will be new spreadsheets, formatted by macro. I
only want conditional formatting applied to subtotalled
rows, and the row count will vary per subtotalled range,
as well as total of rows in the worksheet.
Can you help me with a formula to apply in the conditional
formatting function, or vba code in a macro that will find
subtotalled rows, per the range/criteria/limits described
below?
BR,
Randy

Select the range concerned and do Format / Conditional
formatting / Cell value is less
than 1 - Hit Format button and choose either a pattern or
font colour to suit, then hit
OK. now click on the 'Add' button, and do the same again
but choose 'cell value is less
than' this time.
As the data changes, the conditional formatting will
automatically reflect the appropriate
colour. Just make sur ethat when you paste new data into
the cells you choose paste
special / values, otherwise you wipe out the Conditional
formatting.

Thanks Ken.
This would be typical:
Range: D2:P500
Criteria: <1 cell turns yellow, 1 cell turns red
Limits: values will range from 0 - 2, disallow "---"
I'll generate these spreadsheets daily, format remains
consistent, but the data content and filename will
change. I was thinking that wrapping vb code in a macro
would work best in Excel. Is there a better way?
T-I-A,
Randy

When you say you will use it frequently, why does that
drive a macro solution?
Conditional formatting is dynamic, and wuill change
automatically as your data changes,
without any intervention needed on your part. If you
give us the ranges and the limits
and criteria, we should be able to help you.

Need to apply conditional formatting to cells within
subtotalled rows in lengthy spreadsheets, and would
prefer
to do so in a macro, as I will use this solution
frequently. Conditional formatting would turn cells
red
for greaterthan values, yellow for lessthan values.
Subtotalling occurs after varying number of rows of
data
(~6 - 20), and subtotalled cells occur in columns d-
p.
Thanks!
