    Conditional formatting based on when a cell has changed colour

    hi there

    i am a bit stumped with this one, cant seem to get my head round what i need to do.

    i have a lottery spreadsheet at work and when i fill the drawn number below it colours the numbers above in green, i have done this witha formula in the conditional formatting. what i want to do now is when all ten numbers are coloured green make the persons name go green as well.

    Capture.PNG

    the formula i have in my formatting is =IF(COUNTIF($C$36:$H$489,C1)>0,TRUE) i have tried to adapt it but its not worked so far

    regards

    Michael

    Re: lottery headache

    Thanks for the title change

    to start with, you can shorted that CF formula from...
    =IF(COUNTIF($C$36:$H$489,C1)>0,TRUE)
    to...
    =COUNTIF($C$36:$H$489,C1)>0

    next, Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff) - and, depending on what browser is being used, some pics dont even show up on the forum

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.

    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    hi there

    please find attached a copy of the file.
    What my desired result will be is for when someone achieves all 10 numbers that their name will go green.
