Formula to change cell color
I have a large staffing spreadsheet with about 1,000 rows that contain either
a persons name or a staffing number. For each person/position, I have their forecasted start and end date. To the right is a column for each month through 2013 and I have a 1 in each month that the person/position is expected on the project because I need to know all of the people that will be present in a given month for cost and planning purposes. If someone was due to start on June 2008 and their start date is changed to July 2008, I would like the cell reference in the June 2008 column for this person to change color to green so at a glance I can see whose start date changed. If the person was due in March 2009, and is changed to April, I would still like the March 2009 column to be in green. When the start date is changed, I need help with a formula to change the cell reference in the month column to green. Is this possible? -- JPS |

Formula to change cell color
Can you identify the column designations for the start and end dates and the
months (first list month through to 2013)? Also, what row is the monthly headers in? And finally, what is in the monthly headers... Real dates formatted to look like the displayed month? The displayed month's names hard-coded as text? The displayed month's number? Something else? Rick "JPS" wrote in message ...

Don,
I do not see an option to attach a spreadsheet to the note. Should I send direct to your email address? -- JPS "JPS" wrote: I have a large staffing spreadsheet with about 1,000 rows that contain either a persons name or a staffing number.
