This could be very simple, but I will lay the groundwork first. I have a
schedule spreadsheet that I import data to from a web based program. There
are existing filters to remove all formatting of the data and remove that
which we do not use. What remains is a non formatted sheet that other
workbooks link to so we can produce daily sheets. Now the data that is
linked on the other sheets may be for example the number 150. It appears
throughout the sheet and I would like to color any cell that contains the
number 150. The problem is I can't search for 150 because it really doesn't
exist. All that exists is the linked cell refernece to where this page gets
the data from.

The action I want to learn to produce is that, based on the resulting data,
color the cell(s) the chosen color. Something to the effect of if any cell
in workbook1 contains number 150, resulting from a link to a cell in
workbooka1, to be colored blue. This makes every occurance of 150 in a cell
change the cell background blue. I would like to have this formulated for
about 25 conditions.

I am willing to do all the work, all the training, all the coding, whatever
I need to so that I can make this work as we use this weekly and have to
manually alter background colors. I don't want to buy something to do it
since once I establish this formatting code it will not change very often if
at all.

Thank you in advance for any guidance and help you might provide!
