Hi,
Im using the code below.
It should work like this.
Cell G13 is a drop down where a customer is then selected.
Cell M11 is a drop down where the options to select are CAR or BIKE
Cell O14:O10 will be text shown but dependant on the above.

So all the interior colors & fonts do what should be done
BUT
My issue is when cell G13 has a customer selected & cell M11 has BIKE selected i should then see cells O14:O17 with a grey interior of which i do BUT the font colour for cell O16 is also grey where it should be Black.

See screenshot please as cell O13 shows BITING & cell O16 should say KEY TYPE but as you can see its hidden ?

In cells O13 there is the following
Rich (BB code):
=IF(M11="BIKE", "BITING", " ")

In cell O16 there is the following
Rich (BB code):
=IF(M11="BIKE", "KEY TYPE", " ")


Rich (BB code):
    If Target.Address = "$M$11" Then
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    With Range("O14,O17")
      If Target.Value = "CAR" Then
        .Interior.Color = 12566463
        .Font.Color = 12566463
      Else
        .Interior.Color = 12566463
        .Font.Color = vbBlack
      End If
    End With
  End If
  
  If Range("M11").Value = "" Then
     With Range("O14:O17")
        .Interior.Color = 12566463
        .Font.Color = 12566463
    
    End With
    End If

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Ok
I have narrowed it down to the piece of code which is causing the issue.
The code in blue is the issue.
@DanteAmor advised a code where the interior & font would change color etc so i followed it BUT must of missed something.

The goal here with the code in blue below is If cell M11 has no value yet selected then O14:O17 should be as background colour etc.
Only when an M11 selection is made the text is visible.



Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("L14:L18,G13:G18,G27:M51")) Is Nothing Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Target = UCase(Target)
      Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
    
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G13")) Is Nothing Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
  If Range("G13").Value <> "" Then
      Range("M11").Value = ""
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
  End If
  
    If Target.Address = "$M$11" Then
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    With Range("O14,O17")
      If Target.Value = "CAR" Then
        .Interior.Color = 12566463
        .Font.Color = 12566463
      Else
        .Interior.Color = 12566463
        .Font.Color = vbBlack
      End If
    End With
  End If
  
  If Range("M11").Value = "" Then
     With Range("O14:O17")
        .Interior.Color = 12566463
        .Font.Color = 12566463
    
    End With
    End If
End Sub

This was added & did it for me.

Rich (BB code):
If IsEmpty(Range("M11").Value) = True Then
With Range("O14,O17")
.Interior.Color = 12566463
.Font.Color = 12566463
End With

End If
