and then follow the prompts.

Thanks, but... how does this work if the condition the colour relies on is not the cell whose colour is to be changed If the area is K14:P33 and the condition is in H13??? -- duncan79 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duncan79's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30833 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=542858 |

At the Conditional Formating prompt select "Formula is" and enter =$H$13=1
or whatever the criteria is. db "duncan79" wrote in message ...
