Condional formatting

[maccaz]

I'm sure it's been asked before but can someone help me?


I'm trying to add a conditional format

if P2="x" then shade blue or if P2="y" then shade red

[mangesh_yadav]

1. Select cell p2, go to format > conditional formatting.
2. for 'cell value is', select equal to in the next drop-down, and enter x, select the required color by clicking on format, tab pattern
3. Click on add and repeat above process for y

Sorry Manesh

I should have aded that it is cell A2 that I'm formatting.

So cell A2 should shade blue if P2=x or shade reds if P2=y

not very good at explaining myself sorry

In which case in conditional formatting use the drop down to seelct formula is and then p2=x and then select the blue format

then do the same for option 2, with formula is =p2=y and then format red.
