Hi Frank
i couldn't figure out how to do it in Conditional Formatting as my understanding of the OPs question was if any cell in A1:A1000 has "x" in it then Pete (say in B2) goes red ... if he only wanted Pete to go red if A1 was red then it would be a different matter any ideas Cheers JulieD "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Hi
in this case i would try the following: - select cell B2 - goto 'Conditional Format' and enter the formula =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"x") -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany JulieD wrote: Hi Frank i couldn't figure out how to do it in Conditional Formatting as my understanding of the OPs question was if any cell in A1:A1000 has "x" in it then Pete (say in B2) goes red ... if he only wanted Pete to go red if A1 was red then it would be a different matter any ideas Cheers JulieD "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

The question was asked a little differently somewhere else.
Had a few more names and who was to be red and or not. "JulieD" wrote in message news:% thanks ... just couldn't figure it "Frank Kabel" wrote in ... in this case i would try the following: - select cell B2 - goto 'Conditional Format' and enter the formula =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"x") |
