Colour Cell Macro Help

[lhk201]

Hi guys,

Please could you help me write a macro (or conditional formatting if possible) for the following:

I have a set of data listing accounts in excel.

Each account needs to be updated twice an accounting period with a figure.

To make sure that the user knows which account has not had data entered into it this accounting period the entire row needs to be red. When one update is completed the entire row should turn orange. When there has been two updates the row turns white again.

There needs to be an understanding of what the date is to understand which accounting period it is.

Accounting periods are as follows:

A look of the spreadsheet is as follows:

A B C D E F G H
1 Name Account ID Address P1 (1) P1 (2) P2 (1) P2 (2) ........

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

lhk201, Here is link which has code discussing similar. If you try some variations on the coding discussions there, you might find something that will work.

Thanks for this advice Chuck, much appreciated. There doesn't seem to quite work in my spreadsheet as I need to make it appropriate for the time frames. Maybe I just don't understand this toggle function.....
