Colour Fill
Hi
How can I type a value in one cell in a column and automatically colour fill cells in a range of columns on the same row when this change takes place, there needs to be an if statement somewhere I think because if the cell = a all else is blue, if cell = b all else is red etc. -- Cheers Maggie |

You could use conditional formatting:-
Select as many cells as you want in row 1 from column B. Then Format|Conditional Format Select formula is and enter this formula:- =$A1="A" Select a cloour. Click Add and add additional formula =$A1="B" and select another colour Click OK Enter A or B in A1 to change the colour of the row.

Hi Maggie,
highlight the cells that you currently have this applied to on row 1 and double-click the Format Painter icon - then you can just click on the first cell of the next row you want this to apply to, then the next row etc - press <Esc when you are done. Hope this helps. Pete On Nov 28, 1:32 pm, Maggie wrote: Hi Guys Thanks for this it works well.

This is the limit that applies in Excel 2003 and earlier - you can
have more conditions per cell in Excel 2007. You will need a macro if you want to increase the limit in earlier versions - Bob Phillips has an add-in, CFPlus, which you can download from he http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.....Download.html This allows up to 30 conditions. Hope this helps.

Hi Pete
Thanks for this link, unfortunately it does not work, it does create the add in in excel toolbar but then does not work from there. There is more than one download - do you know which I should use? -- Cheers Maggie "Pete_UK" wrote: This is the limit that applies in Excel 2003 and earlier - you can have more conditions per cell in Excel 2007.

I haven't used it, so I can't advise further.
You could leave a message on the website - I know that Bob Phillips is currently involved in the Excel Users Conference, so he won't be able to get back to you until Saturday. Hope this helps.
