Hi Firefox,
Look at Excel's Conditional Format featurr. If you are not familiar with this feature, see Debra Dalgleish's tutorial at: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html --- Regards, Norman "firefox" wrote in message ...

use conditional formatting, setting the condition for each column cell as
follows... select A1 then choose Conditional Formatting from the Format menu option, Condition 1 is set to "formula is" then in the formula box to the right enter =d1 = "X" press the FORMAT button and set the format pattern RED Repeat for cells B1 and C1, changing the formula entered to =d1 = "Y" and =d1 = "Z" respectively. If you now select A1 to C1 then copy down the rows as required. -- Cheers Nigel "firefox" wrote in message ...
