coulors etc are as you said' its the 'Refrences' thit i have you confused on!

The Defined 'List' Is In Sheet Named: 'CODES & ABRIEVIATIONS',
It is Named as 'CODES_List' and is this B7 --B41
The three different coloured Groups are all in the 'List' together and in
their own colour Group as, Pipes: Green, Pits:Blue and Pieces:Orange!

The Dropdown list is up and working fine in the Sheet TEMPLATEx1 in the
Column B under heading of 'PP&PCodes and Colours' in cells B15 --B150 but
when i enter one from theDropdown it is always in 'black '
So Ken if you can tell me how to get the Colour Formtting to work via Cond
Form and insert in the 'PP&PCodes and Colours' column in thier respective
formatted colours instead of all black we will be lookin good I have removed
the other Leadins from the CODES_ List eg ****** they are all gone, again I
am Sorry for all this thanks for your patience. Dasha



Hi Dasha,

The steps I outlined last time should achieve what you're trying to
do.

It might not be working because I could be wrong with what I think is
being entered into those cells (B15:B150) from the data validation
dropdown.

What exactly are all of the listed values that the user can choose
from when using the data validation dropdown in B15:B150?

Is it possible for you to email me a sample workbook with similar
setup?
You should be able to find my email address by viewing my profile.
