You use conditional formatting to do this. Select A1, then click on
Format | Conditional Formatting and in the dialogue box select Formula
Is rather than Cell Value Is. Enter this formula:

=A24

Then click the Format button, then the Patterns tab (for background
colours) and choose your colour. OK your way out.

Hope this helps.

Pete

Use this formula in conditional formating for your rank column (adjust
to suit your references), then copy formats down the column.
=AND(B33,C33,D33,E33)
