I have a excel "List" - one column in the list is "Date". There are multiple records (rows) with the same value in the "date" field/cell. I need all rows that have the same date value to be the same fill color. Basically I need to color code records of like dates. (The entire rows, not just the date cells)

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hi Keith

Erm wanna colour them rows subect to the date eh!

OK look conditional format can do this, but i guess you have billions of date, how nmany>

I have code that will do this if date in one col.. can edit to another col as we go.. does this help i ahe 25 conditions in VBA that colour rows red blue what ever, subject to a word like:
Jack = Blue
UK = Red
and so on....

well right now there are not any dates in the list (I am developing a list with a userform entry for a project and this is the last thing I need to do) but yes, there could be many many different dates. I don't care if colors repeat themselves as long as the same color is not directly above or below a row with a different date. I have no way of knowing what info will be in any of the fields corresponding to the dates so saying the jack=red won't really work I don't think cause I dunno if or where "jack" will show up in the list.. I may not be understanding what you are askin me though..

Hey wanted to let you know I found a workaround so you could stop working on a solution for me (if you had even got to it yet)... I used teh conditional format and a <> formula to set borders It isn't exactly what I wanted but it will do..

Thanks for the help anyway!
