cell to change color

Yes John, either can be done fairly easily using worksheet events. The SelectionChange event will "fire" when any cell is selected, and its Target argument can be used to find out it the cell selected is the one you are interested in, in which case your code can change its color or import that graphic.

Many ways tol to change cell color

This has been on the board alot please use your search Ctrl-f before you post.

Sub myAddColor()
' Add color if Range("B12:H22") greater than 0, if 0 remove color.
' By Joe Was
'
Range("B12:H22").Select
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlGreater, _
Formula1:="0"
Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

This code changes the indicated range light-blue if the cell value is greater than 0 or text. If the value is 0 the color is re-set to no-color. JSW
