Hello all,
I`m a new member in this forum and this is my first post here.
I use excel more and more in my day job and have discovered that excel is a very powerful tool with tons of functionality that can be used in various ways.
I try to learn as I go along within excel.
No to my question this time:
How can I assign colors that I choice to specific numbers in excel?
1 equals green, 2 equals blue etc... so every time a user press 1 in any cell within the specific sheet the background color will change according the color assigned to the specific number.
Hopes this makes sense, and that someone are able to help.
Attached a very simple example file to help explain what I want to achieve. This is basically for my learning howto do it.

After you finish the previous steps and apply the colors to the numbers:

Hi,
Unfortunately when i tried this more than 1 time the function is no longer available.
I tried it and it work more or less perfect, but just for the first time.
Is it something that´s wrong with my excel or is it a setting?
Thanks fro your time
