I WOULD LIKE A CELL TO RETURN A DIFFERENT COLOR FOR EACH OF MY SIX
CRITERIA,ANY IDEAS?

nested if statement

substitute appropriately; assuming trigger is in cell H1
=IF(H1=1,"color1",IF(H1=2,"color2",IF(H1=3,"color3 ",IF(H1=4,"color4",IF(H1=5,"color5",IF(H1=6,"color 6","No color"))))))

Good luck

Hi Jennifer

this formula will return the literal text statements "color1", "color2" etc
rather than colouring the cells like conditional formatting would do (format
/ conditional formatting). Unfortunately, a formula can not change the
formatting of a cell. The only options are the ones that Peo mentioned or
the use of VBA.
