Thanks Ryan for the information but to be honest, I didn't understand it as I
struggle with adding lines up!
It might be easier if the formula just kept the one rule;
Out of Date: Any conditional formatting cells coloured red are classed as
out of date (as per cond. form. in line one) and the 3 columns with this
formula add together to make a total in cell P36
So basically, when the cell turns red, it adds to the total out of date in
cell P36
