    cell coloring

    I’m trying to set a School program for teachers only
    Frankly speaking I don’t know how to make it in Excel. What I, trying to do?
    1. Let’s have 3 teachers -Peter, Rick and Bill
    2. When Peter takes first school hour, when name is written, the cell turns for example yellow. The same with other teachers but different color for each one.
    3. When there is duplicate of names (in rows only), cells of duplicate names to turn into some other color. When duplicate is deleted, cell returns to original teacher’s color. I attach herewith a sample Excel file Sheet 1 shows green when there is duplicate, Sheet 2 shows what I would like to do.

    So far I succeeded with conditional formatting to color duplicates (sheet 1) with formula
    =COUNTIF ($F4:$L4;F4)>1 , turning cell green. And that’s it. I’m stuck.
    Kindly ask you to help me.

    Look at Sheet 1(2), it should do what you want....

    I'm afraid it works better/it's easier to do with Excel 2007 than with Excel 2003.

    Thank you! It could be done also in 2007. If any changes should be done in 2007, please let me know. Thank you once again!

    Send a PM to a moderator and ask them to move this thread into the Excel Programming / VBA / Macros forum where you'll have a better chance at getting the VBA solution you need.

    Good luck!

    There are a couple of ways to contact a moderator.

    You can goto the forum home page: http://www.excelforum.com

    Scroll down near the bottom of the page where it shows the active users. Look for any names highlighted in green. Those are the moderators that are currently online. Click one of their names and it will take you to their profile page. There will be a link to send that person a private message.

    Alternatively, you can click the Report Post button on one of your posts in the thread. This will send a message to the moderators/admins. In the message ask them to move the thread to the Programming forum.

    Good luck!
