    Change formatting of a cell based on results in 10 other cells

    Hello.

    I have a spreadsheet (Office 2007) which has 10 columns that have conditional formatting at the bottom of each one. I want to format another cell to display a message when the conditions in all 10 of those cells is "YES".

    I have tried many combinations and formulae using conditional formatting, but none works.

    And I wouldn't have a clue as to how to do this using a macro.

    Can anybody help. please?

    Perhaps this will work...

    This regular formula checks if cells A1:J1 all equal "Yes":
    K1: =IF(COUNTIF(A1:J1,"Yes")=10," All 10 are YES!","")
    Is that something you can work with?

    Thanks Ron! That works perfectly. Shows that I needed to think the problem through from a different perspective.

    I appreciate your help.
