Changing Background Colour Based on Cell Contents
Firstly a bit of background. I have a report which is run from a seperate
database to determine candidates who have not been contacted for more than six weeks. I export the results of the report into excel and run a macro to delete uneccessary information, and to "pretty up" the spreadsheet. Information on the spreadsheet is calculated with a formula which is input bu the macro, and determines the number of weeks since the candidates were last contacted, i.e. =(today()-b3)/7, in column E. I was wondering whether it was possible to edit the code to determine how long it has been since the cadidate was last contacted, and based on that, colour the cell either, red, yellow or green. Thanks in advance |

Changing Background Colour Based on Cell Contents
Hi Sukh,
Try using Excel's Conditional Format feature. If you are not familiar with this feature, see Debra Dalgleish at: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html --- Regards, Norman "Sukh" wrote in message ... Firstly a bit of background.

Changing Background Colour Based on Cell Contents
Sorry, I know about the conditional formatting, but i wanted to get around
that, because there are more than three conditions. "Norman Jones" wrote: Hi Sukh, Try using Excel's Conditional Format feature.
