Thank you Peo. Just one more question, if I may!
Data runs from D11 to D60000 and dates are on column "A" and this covers the
whole year. Is it possible to do the same for each month on one sheet?

How can this be done?
once the sum total of a column reaches a set figure all cells there after
to
change the background colour.
Col D = total entered.
Cell H3 is the figure at which the cells change colour. This figure can be
change if needs be.
