    the range for across is within the cells (A-AD) as far as how far to go down with the spreadsheet you can set a limit to cell 5000 or infinate (if thats possible)

    Try this.

    Select Z2:Z5000, goto conditional formatting, select the Use formula... option, enter this formula,

    =$J2<>"CS"

    and format as required.

    Select A2:AD5000, goto conditional formatting, select the Use formula... option, enter this formula,

    =$P2="VOID

    and format as required.

    Select V2:V5000, goto conditional formatting, select Format Only cells... option and select No Blanks from the dropdown and format as required.

    Why didn't you use what I suggested for the 2nd format?

    You need the 'Use formula...' option if you want to format cells other than the one you are checking.
