When I get sometime I will create a screenshot of this and post it here so that other readers will know how it would look. Also, you dont need 2 conditional formats. You can set the cell font color to white for all in one stroke and then use conditional formatting to turn the color to black when a2 not equal to a1. @Peter H: Welcome to PHD and commenting. :) I like your idea.

Our Production Scheduling Program gives a readout like this:- Dept M/c Tool Job No A A1 T1 J1 A A1 T1 J2 A A1 T2 J3 A A2 T2 J4 A A2 T3 J5 A A2 T3 J6 A A2 T4 J7 A A2 T5 J8 A A2 T6 J9 B B1 T7 J10 B B1 T7 J11 B B1 T7 J12 B B1 T8 J13 B B2 T9 J14 B B2 T10 J15 B B2 T10 J16 B B2 T10 J17 B B2 T10 J18 If you add 2 conditional formats to each cell:- =A2=A1 - font colour equals white & =A2A1 - add a line to the top of the cell it comes out like this:- Dept M/c Tool Job No A A1 T1 J1 J2 T2 J3 J4 A2 T3 J5 J6 T4 J7 T5 J8 T6 J9 B B1 T7 J10 J11 J12 T8 J13 B2 T9 J14 T10 J15 J16 J17 J18 With the proper spread sheet with the horizontal lines drawn this is much easier to read I have used a similar technique using conditional formatting to identify when lists change. Our Production Scheduling Program gives a readout like this:-
Dept M/c Tool Job No
A A1 T1 J1
A A1 T1 J2
A A1 T2 J3
A A2 T2 J4
A A2 T3 J5
A A2 T3 J6
A A2 T4 J7
A A2 T5 J8
A A2 T6 J9
B B1 T7 J10
B B1 T7 J11
B B1 T7 J12
B B1 T8 J13
B B2 T9 J14
B B2 T10 J15
B B2 T10 J16
B B2 T10 J17
B B2 T10 J18

If you add 2 conditional formats to each cell:-
=A2=A1 – font colour equals white &
=A2A1 – add a line to the top of the cell it comes out like this:-

Dept M/c Tool Job No
A A1 T1 J1
J2
T2 J3
J4
A2 T3 J5
J6
T4 J7
T5 J8
T6 J9
B B1 T7 J10
J11
J12
T8 J13
B2 T9 J14
T10 J15
J16
J17
J18
With the proper spread sheet with the horizontal lines drawn this is much easier to read
