Unfortunately, I do not know much about macros. Thanks for the suggestion

A macro sounds like a good idea.

I would suggest recording one that uses FIND to locate a typical desk
in your list and then applies a coloured pattern format. This macro can
then be put into a loop to perform the task sequentially on all the
desks.
