Hello Martin,

Conditional formatting is all you need:-

- Click on cell R13.
- In the ribbon at the top of your sheet, select Conditional Formatting then select New Rule.
- From the dialogue box that appears, select " Use a formula to determine which cells to format".
- In the "Format values where this formula is true" box, type in the following formula:-

=R14="x"

- Click on the Format button and from there select your format colour as green and click OK.
- Click OK again on the next dialogue box to appear.
- Done!

Cheerio,
vcoolio.
