Change font and background color of several cells based on result of a formula
 

I have a workbook that has 6 spreadsheets in it. The layout of all 6
spreadsheets is identical. The information they contain is different.

I cell W27 T29 then I want the background color and font color for
cells V26:W29 to be ColorIndex 40. If the result is false, I don't
want any changes.

I know how to do conditional formatting but I don't see how it would
work with what I want to do.

Is there code I could use in the worksheet event?

Thanks for your time. :)

CF would easily work, select all sheets, select V26:W29 and use a formula of

=$W$27$T$29

and format the colour to that colorindex.

Thanks for helping me get my brain out of "stuck" mode. I used your
formula with CF and it works perfect! Thanks again.
