correction: ...ColorIndex = 3 (i think the value, that ColorIndex gets is an integer not a string)

I am not 100% sure whether it works, but i would try that! Regards, Solomon Z.

This allows me to create and control an Excel spreadsheet. I want to use Excel's conditional formatting to color certain cells, but I can't get it to work. Here's the code I use: import win32com.client xl= win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") .... .... .... channamesSheet.Cells(6,3).FormatConditions.Add() Type:=1, Operator:=4, Formula1:="=C5" channamesSheet.Cells(6,3).FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 I got this code from a record and replay macro in Excel, then swapped out the xl constants for numeric values (1 and 4). This gives me a syntax error when running. I have tried both .Add and .Add(), since sometimes these () are necessary. What am I doing wrong? ________________________________ Get more out of the Web.
