Colouring cells based on a cell value

**London257** · 10-16-2012, 04:53 PM

Hi,

I am trying to change the colour of a row of cells based on the value in one of the cells as follows:

On any row, columns A to R contain dates, numbers and texts and column H contains a percentage value. I want to colour cells A to R on that row when cell H on that row is set to 0% or 90%+

I have the following sub which puts today's date in column B when any change is made to a series of cells on that row but I don't know how to test for a specific value rather than just any change. The last line of the sub does change the colour of column G when H is changed but as I say I want to change the colour of the row (A to R) on specific values.

I have done this using Conditional Formating on one row but I think I may have discovered a bug in Excel because when I copy the conditionally formatted cell to the next row it does not retain the range of cells I want to change the colour of, rather just the one cell as follows:

Using conditional formatting i select the range of cells I want to change the colour of first, then enter a new formatting formula of =$H4 = 0% and when I enter 0% into H4 it applies the colour I select to the range I selected. However when I copy the formatted cell to the next row it only colours H4 not the range I selected, hence I think it's a bug.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Geoff.
