When doing conditional formatting and we wont to put it into VBA what does it
go under for the action to take place.

Do I create another Sub or Function and how does it activate.

Thanks
Noemi

this is some code from one of my modules, maybe it will give you and idea.
it does a sort operation first on the selected range and then colors odd
rows blue


With rng
..Sort Key1:=Range("header3").Offset(0, 1), Order1:=xlDescending,
Key2:=Range( _
"header3"), Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=MOD(ROW(),2)=1"

With .FormatConditions(1).Borders
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
End With

Hi Gary
what do you put the code under.

as we are not using a button how do you activate the code.

I tried putting under the selection change but it would not let me do
anything else.

Thanks

goes in with your code, in sheet code or a code module. just paste this in a
test workbook, either in a module or on the sheet's code page.

it will color odd rows between 1 and 20 in columns a through e blue

Option Explicit
Dim rng As Range

Sub color_rows()
Set rng = Range("a1:e20")
With rng
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=MOD(ROW(),2)=1"

With .FormatConditions(1).Borders
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
End With



End Sub

and if you like, run this macro and it will show you the background colors
for the corresponding number

Option Explicit
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Sub color_rows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
i = 1
For i = 1 To 56
Set rng = Rows(i)
With rng
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=ROW()"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = i
With .FormatConditions(1).Borders
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

End With
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
