Shade a cell on one wrksht if another wrksht cell is occupied
You can use Conditional Formatting, you just have to Name the cell you want it to refer to. Say in Sheet1!A1, you want to apply the shading if Sheet2!A1 = something. Go to InsertNameDefine. Type in a name for the reference to Sheet!2A1 ( I used Shade). Go to the cell you want to apply the CF to. Change the Cell Value is: option to Formula is then use something like: =Shade<"" Click FormatPatterns and pick the color you want. Click OK and OK. Does that help?

Shade a cell on one wrksht if another wrksht cell is occupied
Thanks Steve,
I named the cell "GroupName" on the other worksheet. Can you tell me the formula to achieve the following? If the cell "GroupName" has ANY text in it, I want a separate worksheet cell (call it A1) to fill in with a specific color. Does that make sense?

In the Conditional Formatting dialog, change "Cell Value Is" to
"Formula Is", and enter the following formula: =LEN(GroupName) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Clark" wrote in message ...
