Hi all,
I want to highlight cells when the row has 5 consecutive (or more) "Need attention". I only want to highlight cells with a word of "Need attention", and only if there are at least 5 consecutive word of "Need attention". The cell values are from a formula.

Thank you in advance.

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
