Conditional Formatting for MS Project 365
Yeah, I can probably help. Where did you see the VBA code?
It will be easier if I can actually see your Project file. Are you able to share it with me? If so, my contact address is below. I will ask some questions.

John sorry cant share the file it is classified and 7800 lines
This is a snapshot as you can see the the Column Tapping Status 1 has a lookup field comprising 3 entries "In Progress" Tapping Sent" and "Completed". when I select tapping sent i want the whole row to be shaded in orange and if i select complete the row changes to green and the same for In Progress
I dont remember where i saw the vba code i was searching the internet for hours.
are you able to assist.
thanks
Krys

Krys,
I asked about where you saw the VBA code since it's quite likely I wrote it for another user. At any rate I can still help you. However, there is no "Tapping Status" field so I'm guessing it's an extra field (e.g. Text1) that you renamed but in order to write a macro, I need to know which field it is.
When you say "shaded" in a particular color I assume you mean the task row's cell background color.
I may have more questions, but answers to the above should get it started.
By the way, are you available over the weekend? That's when I do this kind of stuff. Even if you can't directly share the file, communicating via e-mail is generally easier and more convenient.One other curious observation, if your file is classified, is the client/customer going to allow a macro you get from someone on the internet to be run on the file?

There is no client/customer as such this is a deployment cutover schedule for a major release covering 15 functionalities.
The whole role needs to be shaded based on the tapping status (text 3) custom field
