Hi !
Point No 1.
Open the file you want.
Go to Format> Conditional Formating > enter data as following
Cell Value is >>>>> Equal to >>>>"abc"
The press format button. Dowhat ever you want & say ok.
For applying this formating to No of Cells, Select Copy format from
menu bar & apply to the cells you want.
Hope this is clear.
For Rest of the points,
Activate Form toolbar, Select a Command button, it will pop a window.
Give some macro Name, select where you want to save this macro
(preferably in the same workbook or personal macro book) then press
record. a small window will now appear. Let it be open. Do what ever
calculations you want to do as you have described. Press "Stop
Reording" button on the small window once you are done. Save work
book. Delete all the calculations you have done & try pressing the
button to check if the macro works.
Check & Confirm
