Hi All, I'm not sure if i have the correct forum but this is the only one i could think of that this might apply to.
I have a spreadsheet which acts like a schedule for a team if managers. Across the top I have the times of the day running from 8am until 8pm in 1hour intervals as seen in the attachment 'Screen1'. As you will see the schedule has a pattern running accross it which is to indicate that the slots are not available to book. Towards the bottom i have a table which has a dropdown pulling it's list from a worksheet called 'LData', To give an example there are 8 times altogether in the drop down list and they are formated as follows:
09:00-17:00
10:00-18:00
What i need is that if a specific value from the dropdown is selected then the corresponding cells will have the pattern removed to show that this slot is now available. How this should look is shown in attachment named 'screen2'
So to clarify, if the drop down selection shows 09:00-17:00 then the cells in the schedule that depict the hours 09:00-17:00 ill have the pattern removed automatically. I would normally have done this via a conditional format however working from a business pc i am restricted to excel 2003 which only allows 3 conditional formats whereas i need 8 at a minimum so i am thinking it will probably need to be a VBA code?
Hope this all makes sense but if not then please ask. Hopefully one of you can help.
Thanks
