The below macro enters the following formula into row 5 of the chosen formula column.
=IF(A5<>SUM(E5:G5);"Caution!";"ok") 'see line 6 of the code
The second inputbox prompts the user to enter another column letter which determines the number of rows the formula is copied down.
The macro then enters the formulas into all worksheets with the exception of a couple of them.
NOW, I also would like to apply conditional formatting to the entered formulas, i.e.
All Cells which have been filled with the term 'Caution!" should get a fill RGB 220, 17, 17 coupled with a white font
Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
Regards, Andreas

That is not conditional formatting but applying the cell interior color and form color explicitly. And the formatting done this way will remain even if the string returned by the formula gets changed.
But you never know, asker is smart enough to tweak all the codes as per his liking as he did in his last question and accepted your answer as an accepted one though he continued with the answer provided by me. :)
Also I am curious to know how did he tweak your last solution as per his requirement. :)

Oops. Oh Yes Neeraj, you are right.
Thanks for sharing.
Andreas, please ignore my code.

Hi Neeraj,
thank you very much for your quick and professional help. I am afraid to tell you that your code throws an error message on column 36 (Runtime error 9, Index outside array).
As for your comments on the points awarding of my last question,
I will get back later this evening. Again, thank you very much for your great and professional help. I really appreciate it. The same applies to Shums

Neeraj, you wrote ... "But you never know, asker is smart enough to tweak all the codes as per his liking as he did in his last question and accepted your answer as an accepted one though he continued with the answer provided by me. :)"
It is always hard to award points. Shums answer on that specific question was correct and ok you are right, your code was the basis for my tweaking. Again, awarding points equitably is not an easy task. Since Shum based his correct code on yours, I will award the majority of points to you. I hope I am doing everything right.
Thank you very much, Shums and Neeraj for your great help and support. I really appreciate it.
