    How do I color code a worksheet based on text

    I'm trying to color code my schedule for work based on whether people are
    closers, lates, suppers, or start before between 11:00 and 12:00 the schedule
    (with color coding I'm using now - by hand) is on the net at
    www.getdominos.com/staff/scedule.xls I could use conditional formatting using
    =SEARCH for supper, late or close but when I tried to add an off condition,
    or a condition that would catch lunches, I found I could only have 3. I treid
    using VBA, but got very lost, can anyone help?

    I can't quite explain this, it was passed to me when i ran out of conditional formats. It looks at a column, and based on the numeric value in the column then colours the relevant cell. It is set on my file to run on change event. This provides for ten variations, don't know if it expands further than that

    Sub Line1()
    For rwindex = 3 To 300
    With Worksheets("Quick_LookUp").Cells(rwindex, 3)
    Cells(rwindex, 2).Font.ColorIndex = 1
    Cells(rwindex, 2).Font.Size = 12
    Select Case .Value
    Case 0: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 2
    Case 1: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
    Case 2: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
    Case 3: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 35
    Case 4: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 38
    Case 5: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 34
    Case 6: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 17
    Cells(rwindex, 2).Font.ColorIndex = 2
    Case 7: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 39
    Case 8: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 22
    Case 9: Cells(rwindex, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 12
    Cells(rwindex, 2).Font.ColorIndex = 2
    End Select
    End With
    Next rwindex
    End Sub


    If you want the file i'll send it to you

    Re: How do I color code a worksheet based on text

    Here is how I figured out how to do this.. (wasn't super hard, it was just
    easier to ask in here .. I figured people could explain it pretty easy)

    BUT.. is there an easier way? especially dealing with all the cases? I made
    it in 5 minute intervals because that's the lowest we use, but could i
    convert the 5 characters to a number and use 1100 to 1200 after somehow
    converting it to a number?

    Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

    If Target.Text = "off" Then
    Target.Font.Italic = True
    Target.Font.Bold = False
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
    Else
    Target.Font.Bold = True
    Target.Font.Italic = False
    End If

    If (InStr(1, Target.Text, "Supper")) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 38
    If (InStr(1, Target.Text, "Late")) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 33
    If (InStr(1, Target.Text, "Close")) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
    If (InStr(1, Target.Text, "supper")) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 38
    If (InStr(1, Target.Text, "late")) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 33
    If (InStr(1, Target.Text, "close")) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6

    Select Case (Left$(Target.Text, 5))
    Case "10:00"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:00"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:05"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:10"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:15"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:20"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:25"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:30"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:35"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:40"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:45"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:50"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "11:55"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    Case "12:00"
    Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
    End Select

    End Sub
