how to change color of the cell if value changes
As the topic suggested I need help. Lets say I have a numeric value in cell B14 on Sheet3. The value is generated by COUNTIF from two other Sheets. What I need to do is change the color of the value when I change something in the other Sheets to affect the value in B14 on Sheet3 . Since I have like 50 cells which need to be checked it's just too annoying to do that every time if the value has indeed changed or not. I think I need to use conditional formatting but I'm drawing a blank here.

Maybe I'm still hung-over, or maybe I read the OP incorrectly, but I'd love
to see your example of a conditional test that'll monitor a change in a cell, short of code.g -- Regards, RD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
