I've managed to steal/create the code I wanted to allow me to create multiple conditional formats (56 ish, although some of the colours are very similar)... (see bottom).. If someone want to let me know how to reduce this code, please feel free!

When manually entering values into the worksheet it works just fine. :)

However, when I copy > paste special (Alt+P) a load of values into my sheet the code doesn't function. :sad:

However if I select and return (F2, Enter) any fo those copied cells the formatting is then applied.

Is there a way to auto-apply the select/enter process to all the cells, so that the formatting activates..?

Here's the (probably very long-winded) code I'm using....

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer

'define range where you want colours to happen...

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:BA100")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target

'the cells error above 56 colours... so I stopped there, I'm sure this can be trimmed down though... i.e. "Case = icolor", or something similar...

Case 1
icolor = 1
Case 2
icolor = 2
Case 3
icolor = 3
Case 4
icolor = 4
Case 5
icolor = 5
Case 6
icolor = 6
Case 7
icolor = 7
Case 8
icolor = 8
Case 9
icolor = 9
Case 10
icolor = 10
Case 11
icolor = 11
Case 12
icolor = 12
Case 13
icolor = 13
Case 14
icolor = 14

icolor = 15

icolor = 16

icolor = 17

icolor = 18

icolor = 19

Case 56
icolor = 56
End Select
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor
End If
End Sub
