Chuck,
Not quite the answer. If there is an 'X' in a cell, I need the cell to the right of that one, the description cell, to automatically shade as soon as the 'X' cell has lost focus. thanks, -- Jock Waddington "CLR" wrote: Take a look at the Conditional Formatting feature.............Format ConditionalFormatting then follow the menus..........

Assuming that the "X" goes into Column A and that you want only
Column B to be colored then 1) With Row 1 visible, click on Column B to select it, and have cell B1 as the active cell. 2) Format, Conditional Format, Formula 1 is =$A1="x" Most worksheet formulas are not case sensitive and neither is that one.
