There will be 2 values in B9 (in a drop down list)...
OPEN CLOSED When OPEN is selected, I want the cells to remain white. When CLOSED is selected, I want all cells mentionned bellow to turn grey.

In the Conditional Formatting wizard, select Formula Is from the drop down
box and use the formula =$B$9="criteria" and then you can use hte format painter to apply this to all cells.

Let's say you want B1 to be red when B9 has value 10 or more
Select B1; use Format | Conditional Formatting In dialog: Formula is =B9=10; now pick the format Click Ok Your done best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "One-Leg" wrote in message ...
