macro for changing font color
 

-Hello,

What is the macro for changing the font color in a specific range based on
the text entered? For instance, if user types in "Completed" into any cell in
range B7:B175 the cell with completed should change the text color to green.
I already have 3 allowable conditional formats in place so I need to write
two more macros so I cover all 5 scenarios.

Thanks,
BearsFan

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B7:B175"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case "Completed": .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
'etc.
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
