    How to make cell change color at specific random frequency?

    Hello guys,
    Screenshot excel - http://scr.hu/1tm/4xsbo
    So my B1 is a hyperlink to tab 'Sheet1'. So every time I click B1 the tab "refreshes".
    I want the colors of A1 and A2 change every time when I go to this tab.
    Let's say I want:
    A1 to be Red 20% of the time, Yellow 40% of the time and Blue 40% of the time.
    A2 to be Red 10% of the time, Yellow 70% of the time and Blue 20% of the time.

    How can I do that? If you will give me a code, could you please explain me how to implement it in the cells? I am novice excel user.

    Thank you very much!

    Sorry, I don't know how to accomplish what you want to do. However, I do want to thank you for a good chuckle after reading: "specific random frequency".

    Specific randomness, or as I prefer to call it, "Random Specificity" is usually one of my strongest talents. But as they say, "That, and 75 cents will get you a cup of coffee."

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    I am sorry for crossposting. I am new to excel and it's forums and didn't read this rule. Next time I will post links of other forums where I post a problem.
