Hi,

Select cell A1, go to Format->conditional formatting and choose 'Formula
is' and type

=IF($A$2="Hot",TRUE,FALSE) and choose the format you need.

and then add a condition, choose 'Formula is' and type

=IF($A$2="Cold",TRUE,FALSE) and choose the format you need.


Regards

Format Cell A1 as follows:

1. Go to "Format/Conditional Formatting"
2. For Condition 1, choose "Formula Is"
3. On the next box to the right, enter =A2="hot"
4. Click "Format"
5. Choose color Red (Color box is located somewhere in the middle)
6. Click OK
7. Click ADD
8. For condition 2, do steps 1 through 5 with the following differences:

*** for step 3, enter =A2="cold"
*** for step 5, choose color Green

9. Click OK
10. Click OK

Hope this is what you need.

Regards.

from the drop down menu and type:
=A2="hot"
