Formula Cell color limitation
Hello,
I have a user with an coloring issue with formulas. If we add more than 32 cells in a column the colors do not turn on. If only 32 cells all cells are color coded.as the example below: all cells are colored in edit mode =B3+B4+B5+B6+B7+B8+B9+B10+B11+B12+B13+B14+B15+B16+ B17+B18+B19+B20+B21+B22+B23+B24+B25+B26+B27+B28+B2 9+B30+B31+B32+B33+B34 This formula with 33 cells included do not get colored in edit mode. =B3+B4+B5+B6+B7+B8+B9+B10+B11+B12+B13+B14+B15+B16+ B17+B18+B19+B20+B21+B22+B23+B24+B25+B26+B27+B28+B2 9+B30+B31+B32+B33+B34+B35 Is this a limitation with excel. the number 32 leads me to believe this. I cannot find any info on this issue. I am not using code to do this just the gui itself.. Any help would be awesome.. Thanks in Advance. Ron |

Formula Cell color limitation
I'm not sure of a color limitation, but why don't you simplify your formula?

Formula Cell color limitation
If your formula is trying to add the numbers, why don't you use =SUM(B3:B35)

Formula Cell color limitation
I understand your answer... but this was just a test. My user wants to be
able to visually link all cells he is working with..Your answer of course is a correct way to do it. THe way the user create his workbook needs the cell individually colored. And as I stated earlier seems to be a limit on the color coding, "David Biddulph" wrote: If your formula is trying to add the numbers, why don't you use =SUM(B3:B35) ? -- David Biddulph "fenixdood" wrote in message ...

There are several limits of 32 in pre XL 2007 versions:

Thanks a bunch Dave.. This is what I anticipated hearing..the 32 number kinda
gave it away...Do you know by chance if 2007 has the same limits?.

Yes. You have hit the limit.
I thought it was 34 but haven't tested lately and memory dims. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 14 Nov 2006 09:36:02 -0800, fenixdood wrote: I understand your answer... but this was just a test.
