    Question Any advice on setting alert for servicing hours

    Sorry if posted to the wrong section -

    I know you can set alerts in Excel for dates.. But I need it to set an alert for when a certain number is reached.
    So every 250 hours, a forklift needs servicing. Is it possible to set an alert for when the number of current hours exceeds that number plus 250

    You could use CF in Column I using this formula.
    PHP Code: 
    =mod($H2,250)=
    setting fill color to red and apply that to your entire range.
    Also putting this formula in I2 and pulling down
    PHP Code: 
    =250-MOD($H2,250
    gives you the remaining days when next service is due.

    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.

    For some reason it's still not working. Maybe it might be easier to each day just check it myself and add a note, I seem to be terrible at this excel stuff
    But thank you so much for your help

    Post your workbook with desensitized data (if needed) so we can see how to help you further on this one.
