Hi

New to VBA so apologies in advance if a dumb question!

I have managed to get to the following which is working well but I now want
corresponding cells in the "k" column to change to specific colours based on
the data in "I" and "J" columns and seem to have put myself in a corner -
what os the best way to write such a request please?

'Convert to FMECA format, and set matrix row
If consequence = "A - Almost Certain" Or LCase(consequence) = "a" Or
LCase(consequence) = "a" Or LCase(consequence) = "almost certain" Then
Range("i" & iRow).Value = "A - Almost Certain"
iconsequence = 1
ElseIf consequence = "B - Likely" Or LCase(consequence) = "b" Or
LCase(consequence) = "l" Or LCase(consequence) = "likely" Then
Range("i" & iRow).Value = "B - Likely"
iconsequence = 2
ElseIf consequence = "C - Possible" Or LCase(consequence) = "c" Or
LCase(consequence) = "p" Or LCase(consequence) = "possible" Then
Range("i" & iRow).Value = "C - Possible"
iconsequence = 3
ElseIf consequence = "D - Unlikely" Or LCase(consequence) = "d" Or
LCase(consequence) = "u" Or LCase(consequence) = "unlikely" Then
Range("i" & iRow).Value = "D - Unlikely"
iconsequence = 4
ElseIf consequence = "E - Rare" Or LCase(consequence) = "e" Or
LCase(consequence) = "r" Or LCase(consequence) = "rare" Then
Range("i" & iRow).Value = "E - Rare"
iconsequence = 5
