This is my first post to this forum. I hope I have all in order…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Excel version is 2003. Win XP Pro…<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have a workbook in which I want to change tab colors based on cell values. All of the input cells are on the worksheet called “CustInfo.”<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
There are 3 cells that have values that – depending on the value or text – will change the tab color of 3 OTHER worksheets.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
These cells on the CustInfo worksheet are:<o:p></o:p>
E6 with range name “ans_csr”<o:p></o:p>
E7 with range name “ans_lefv”<o:p></o:p>
E8 with range name “ans_locations”<o:p></o:p>
(Whether range names or just the cells are used doesn’t matter…)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So,<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If CustInfo E6 (ans_csr) text value is “Y” the tab on sheet “LOA-S” is green (14), otherwise default gray.<o:p></o:p>
If CustInfo E7 (ans_lefv) text value is “Y” the tab on sheet “LEFV” is green (14), otherwise default gray.<o:p></o:p>
If CustInfo E8 (ans_locations) numerical value is >1 the tab on sheet “MLSO” is green (14), otherwise default gray.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have done a great deal of searching to find the solution to this, but nothing quite meets my need. I have managed the tab color change, but the difficulty is getting the change to me more or less and on/off switch, based on the cell inputs.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p>
