You can't control color with a formula. You can do it with a macro. It
would depend on whether you're talking about one particular cell, a certain
range of cells, or every cell on the worksheet.

thanks for the reply....
I'm trying to get a column with 3 colours in it to reproduce on subsequent
pages. Basically a coloured shift rota, so instead of copy and pasting for 8
pages i can do it on page 1 and forget about it. Can that be done with macros?

Jason, since you're copying an entire column to 8 other sheets, it would be
better to run a subroutine by clicking a button instead of automatically
copying all this every time you make a change on the main sheet. Can you
live with that? James
