    two worksheets working togeather

    Is there a way to write a macro to have a cell be colored if a name is typed in based off a range of cells on another sheet. Also this range needs to be dynamic because people can be added or deleted at any time.

    So based on the file I attached if I enter Alex on the calender worksheet this name should appear yellow because he is in the "IP" column but if I move him to say the "MB" column he should be colored green.

    I don't want to use conditional rules because I have a lot of names and they can change columns all the time.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    I don't want to use conditional rules because I have a lot of names and they can change columns all the time.
    This should take care of that.
    1st, create a range name for each category
    Then, highlight the entire range
    go into CF, select New Rule/use formula
    =MATCH(C2,IP,0).......format fill yellow
    Repeat for the other categories
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards

    Thats where the named ranges come in. 2007 cannot directly reference cells on another sheet, but the work-around for that is to use named ranges

    Re: two worksheets working togeather

    The MATCH syntax is...
    =match(criteria-to-find,column(or row)-to-search-in,0) 0 returns exact match
    So we are looking for the contents of C2, in the range (named ) IP, and we want an exact match
