In my workbook I have 2 sheets. The first is my data entry, the second is my database.
In this database there are about 70 different names, and each name can have multiple entries. For example: Row 1 - 7 are mister Gates, 8 - 9 are mister Frankenstein, 10 - 14 are mister Dexter and so on.
To group the names/ sort them. I have used two colors in my existing database, blue and light blue, and so I change the filling of the cells. So all the entries of mister Gates are blue, Frankenstein is light blue, and Dexter is blue again. This way I can easily see which names are grouped, and my database doesnt look like a rainbow.
So far so good, this i can do just by filling the cells by hand.
But, when I add a name using my data entry I want two things to happen:
1) First, check if the name exists in the database, give it the colour of that name.
2) When its a new name, give it the next colour, so when the last color is blue, than the next color must be light blue.
Is this possible?
