You can do this with Conditional Formatting. If you know you will be
entering nothing but numbers in these cells and you know that the numbers
will not be greater than, say 1000000, and not less than, say .01, do the
following:
Select all the cells that you want to act this way.
Click on Format - Conditional Formatting.
In the first block, select "Cell Value Is".
In the next block select "between".
In the next block type .01
In the last block type 1000000 (or any number you will not exceed)
Click on the Format button (in the conditional formatting dialog box)
Select the "Pattern" tab
Click on the color you want
Click OK
Click OK
Done

You can also do this with VBA. Post back if you need more. HTH Otto

I was working with an old spreadsheet that a previous employee created.
When
I enter the new amounts & then tab down to the next cell, a fill applies
itself automatically. I like this feature & would like to apply it to
other
financial spreadsheets. After many hours at home trying to figure this
out -
I've not found an answer. How is this done?
Thanks so much,
Janet
