How can I use a color to indicate a true/false position in a cell. For example, if I am using a check box on a worksheet and the box is checked (indicating a "true" position), then I need to produce a "green colored" cell on another worksheet/page. What type of code/macro is required to do this?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Click on the cell you want to be colored and then under the Format menu click "Conditional Formatting". Here you can choose the color of the cell depending on a value inside of it or a value in another cell.
I hope this is what you wanted and this helped!

Understand, thanks for the help. QUESTION: Using Conditional Formatting, how do I refer to the value of another cell (different than the cell that I am formatting)?

absolutely....

conditional formatting formats on a condition

so *if* the condition is true, it kicks in


you don't need to put in an "IF"
