Hi,

I have a spreadsheet with different rows of data refering to seperat
issues etc. these are ranked either 1-5 or 1-7. the rank is held i
column s, however I want the 2nd cell in the row (column b) to chang
colour according to to the value in column s.

Given that there are more than 3 colours needed, i cant use norma
conditional formatting and so am trying to use the following macro. i
first targets column s and where values i then want it to target colum
b in the same row and change the colour according to the value.

I would be really grateful for any help.

Cheers
