I have created a workbook for our quotation process. If all the info is filled in for row 1, J1 has a formula that returns 0, if info is missing, J1 returns 1. All the rows are added into J70. If J70 is >0, something is missing. If J70<1 everything is filled in. The Sheet Tab is red. I found some code on a website that will turn the tab while if J70<1. To test, I deleted the formula in J70, the tab turns white. However, if I go through and fill out the form, thus making J70=0, the tab stays red. Here is the code I used:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

With Me
Select Case .Range("J70").Value

Case Is < 1
.Tab.ColorIndex = xlNone

Case Is > 0
.Tab.Color = vbRed


End Select
End With
End Sub

Could the reason be that J70 is volitle?

It never gets to the second test. Case statements are processed sequentially. If J70 is 0, it's < 1, so only the first Case ever executes.

Code:
    With Me
        Select Case .Range("J70").Value
            Case 0
                .Tab.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
            Case Else
                .Tab.Color = vbRed
        End Select
    End With

Maybe
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
With Me
Select Case .Range("J70").Value

Case Is < 1
.Tab.ColorIndex = xlNone

Case Is > 0
.Tab.Color = vbRed


End Select
End With
End Sub

Change < and > to =

<1 includes 0 but >0 does not include 0. Both will get executed. If it was <=1 and >=0 then you would be correct.

Sorry, you're exactly correct.

I recommend my code, though, or just

Code:
    With Me
        If .Range("J70").Value = 0 Then .Tab.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone Else .Tab.Color = vbRed
    End With
