Hello - I am new to google groups and coding with VBA. I'm hoping
someone can assist with my problem. I think it is kinda easy, I have a
pivot table and within column A there is a entry that contains the word
'total', created by the pivot when creating. What I'm looking to do is
hight light this row IF the corisponding cell in column F is a negative
number. But if the word TOTAL is found and the number in colmun F is
positive then, do nothing. I think this might be done via condional
formatting as well but not sure of the syntax.

Try:

Sub jeff()
For i = 1 To 1000
If InStr(Cells(i, 1).Value, "Total") Then
If Cells(i, "F").Value < 0 Then
Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i, 256)).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

Gary....thank you very much. That worked perfectly...well, almost. In
your code you have the cell range to 256. I only needed to go to
column G, so with one quicky change from 256 to 7....it worked just
fine. Thanks again....
