Hello,
I have a little program in a Book with two sheets one called DATA and another called FORM, in this sheet I have placed the formula =DATA!$A$8, in the same cell A8 in the DATA sheet Whatevere I write it will be placed in the formula in the FORM sheet, what I want also is to change the color of the cells which are used once the formula is activated (it might be more than one cell if the text passes more than one cell), I wonder if this can be done I have tried without luck, can someone help me???
Thanks

It is conditional formatting. Select the cells you wish to apply the formating to, and build a formula that says:
=IF($A$8<>"")
and set a true to blue color. Now, when a cell is not blank it will turn blue.

I hope this helps. Check this out for an example....
