Default formula

Hilight the Column

Go to

Format -- Conditional Formatting

Then you'll see it says Cell Value Is

Then just type in 2 and like 100000 or whatever value you want the max
number to be. Then select the format and format the cells to however you
want. And press OK.

Many thanks, that works fine. It only formats one column in the worksheet
though i would like other cells in the worksheet to appear in color also when
this situation is present is this possible.

You asked for for column A to to be CF'd based on column I but you will need a
formula in CF for that.

When you say column I 2 I assume you mean any cell in column I

Select all cells/columns to be colored then

In CFCondtion1Formula is =$I12

Note the $ sign to lock in column I but allow the row number to increment.
