Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me as i don't know where to start!

I have a column in an excel spreadsheet which is full of numbers in the
format 00:00:00 (HH:MM:SS).
There are alot of fields in this column!!!

What i have just had to do manually is go through and change the fill
colour of the cells if the value is greater than or equal to 00:20:00.
If the value of the cell was above 00:30:00 then the cell must be a
different colour. Less than 00:20:00 and it should be a another colour.
So in total 3 colours.
As the column is down to row number '4950' - you can see that this will
be a very lengthy process!

Is there a way to automate this process? (with a macro?)
If there is can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Matt!
