Which version are you using? In Excel 2007 you can do this but in previous
version you can only use 3 conditions, so if that's the case you need VBA -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "JVANWORTH" wrote in message ...

try this:-
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) _ Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Select Case Target.Value Case "A" To "E" icolor = 3 Case "F" To "J" icolor = 41 Case "K" To "O" icolor = 4 Case "P" To "T" icolor = 6 Case Else End Select Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor End Sub "JVANWORTH" wrote: I need a cell to change into four (4) different colors if a specific condition is met.

Mike H,
I'm sure this works, but my ability is limited in where to put. How do I insert this into the work sheet. I need direction in order to execute.

Here's a tip:
If you have an event macro like this that formats a cell *NEVER* select the entire sheet and then click the "clear formats" button on your toolbar (if you have that button on one of your toolbars). You will regret it! Biff "T. Valko" wrote in message ... Select the sheet where you want this to happen.
