    You can have 3 plus a default which is 4 effectively - you just need to be a bit clever to get them right, or do you need 4 plus a default, if so you can only do it by VBA or upgrading to 2007

    I think i need 4 plus default, ie if none of the 4 conditions are meet then the row stays white, its if any of the four conditions are meet then the row turns yellow.

    Question, is it possiable to put more than one condition in a condition. That sound confussing but is 1 condition is as below

    =L120="False"

    could you put

    =L120="Yes","No"

    or something like that...???

    yes you can put an OR statement in it

    =OR(L120="yes",L120="no")

    Similarly you can use an AND statement

    =AND(L120="yes",L120="no")

    Any help?

    That works great, the OR statement worked.

    Here another question, Is it possiable to copy the conditional formating from my edited row and paste it to the other rows with out affecting the formula and data that have already been inputted...??

    Yes

    Select source cell > copy.

    select destination cells > paste special > formats

    Thanks ED

    Your a master, working like clock work, well that until somebody wants me to change the sheet and extra stuff, then it will probably fall to pieces again.

    In the And or OR statments can you have more than two conditions...??

    yes, no problem with more conditions. I don't know what the limit is but it's probably more than you will ever need

    Thanks for the feedback
