Hi, I have a summary worksheet and several other worksheets and what I would like to do is
On the summary sheet when a cell in a range on the associated worksheet has the words "all processes" in it the summary sheet cell changes to Blue in colour

Example Summary Sheet A3 no colour since no cell in Worksheet 3 Col L says "all processes"
Summary Sheet A3 gone blue since Worksheet 3 Cell L4 says "all processes"
Summary Sheet A3 remains blue since Worksheet 3 Cells L4 and L27 say "all processes"
Summary Sheet A3 returns to no colour once no cells in Worksheet 3 Col L say "all processes"

Thanks in advance

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
From your description, it sounds like you want this rule to apply only to one cell, Summary Sheet A3. You can add this conditional formatting rule as a formula:

Excel Formula:
=COUNTIF('Worksheet 3'!$L:$L, "all processes")>0

Thanks 6StringJazzer thats perfect, thank you so much its always the simple that confuses :) I have a number of sheets that I want to apply a similar rule to but thought if I get it for one then I can easily modify for the others

Thanks again
