Formula or Macro for CF
Hello,
I am looking for a format to place into conditional format or even a macro that will alert me on a set occasion. I have data for 4 people on shifts over the next 6 months, what I need is a format to turn a cel red if the text in it is a D/S for example. Sunday = N/S Monday = D/S (I need this cell to turn red as a warning if this happens) Cell a1 = N/S Cella2 = D/S And so on for the range of 6 months. Can anyone help me on this problem. Regards Mark |

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply but I cant see hoew data validation will work as some weeks I will have D/S in cell A2 but I only need error to apply when it arrives after N/S in cell previous and not any other time.

You left the N/S requirement out of your original posting. Select the cells
from A2 (not A1) down to the end of expected data and use this Conditional Formatting formula (Formula Is in drop down)... =AND(A2="D/S",A1="N/S") Rick "santaviga" wrote in message ...

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are asking how to apply the
formula over your 6 months, simply click in A2 and drag down until all 6 months are selected (although you can select more than you need if you think you will have to provide this functionality for more than 6 months); then click Format/Conditional Formatting from the menu bar; select "Formula Is" from the first drop down and paste the formula into the 2nd field; click the Format button and select the formatting you want; then OK your way back to the worksheet. That's it... everything will be automatic after that. Rick "santaviga" wrote in message ...
