Set color of cell based on info on another sheet?
I have the need to set the color of a cell, based on whether the value
equals one of a series of values on another worksheet. The situation is, we do tire testing. We measure the tires, and/or perform vehicle validations, at certain mileage intervals. These intervals change based on the type of test it is. I'd like to be able to have a "setup" sheet that has the particular mileages that certain operations are performed, keep track of the mileages run each day on that sheet. Then, on a separate worksheet, keep a running list of the totals for each day, and if the total for a particular vehicle/set of tires matches one of the values on the setup sheet, set the cell color to something to stand out, showing it needs some type of work done. How can I do this? Can I do this? Thanks! Shawn |

I think we need more info on the data, how it is structured, what would be
flagged etc. A worked example would be good. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "43fan" wrote in message ...

Bob,
My apologies. Right now, two different "schedules" are run. Schedule A - 0, 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000 (measurements) 0, 1000, 4000, 8000 (alignments) Schedule B - 0, 2500, 10000, 17500, 25000, 32500, 40000 (everything) On a setup sheet, I'd have pertinent info, as well as which schedule was being run, with the above mileages entered into individual cells. On that sheet, each shifts completed mileage would be entered as well, again, individual cells. On a "summary" sheet, some of the pertinent info would be shown, as well as totalling, by shift, the accrued mileages run. If one of the accrued mileages equals one of the "schedule" mileages, I want to change the color of the cell. At this point, if it just changes it to red, I'd be happy. It flags it enough that someone can look at the schedule to see what actually needs done. If I can eventually get it to use different colors for different things that need done, great. At this point though, that's not a priority. Please ask any other questions if you need. :) Thanks!! Shawn "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
