Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is example for you.

If I put in A1 as 10, it should shade 10 rows in B column. i.e. B1 to B10. Next if i put in A11 as 2, it should shade only 2 rows in B column. i.e B11 to B12. How to do this using conditional formatting.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

try this macro

Sub test()
Dim j As Integer, cadd As String, r As Range, r1 As Range

cadd = InputBox("type the cell where the numebr is entered. e.g. A1 or A11 etc")
Set r = Range(cadd)
j = r.Value
Set r1 = Range(r, r.Offset(j - 1, 0))
r1.EntireRow.Select

End Sub
