    R.
    The conditional formatting was just a tiny part of a big macro

    Ting is, people who don't know Excel VBA wouldn't be able to help, but people who do know Excel VBA would want to start from scratch and needs lots of context information.
    Thanks Mr Lizard - does seem that people in the know are quite um well passionate about VBA - saving your Lizardship's pardon of course

    started a topic I hate macros

    I hate macros

    Hey guys sorry to do this to you Friday pm but HELP!!!!!!! Recorded a macro which has ground to a halt and the debug says the problem is here:

    Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditi ons.Count).SetFirstPriority
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
    .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
    .TintAndShade = 0
    End With

    Was a simple conditional format to say that if the column contained a certain text change the font to white.

    As always any ideas gratefully received


    Don't worry - sussed it - have a good weekend all
