    Rule/Formula Help

    Hey Guys,

    Wondering if you can help...

    I have a spreadsheet to look at computer equipment at work. (see attached - this is a small part of the sheet).

    I want to add a rule so that if i add Printer in column E it blacks out column F and G (as they are not needed)

    How would i do this?

    Thanks

    Select F5

    Conditional Formatting
    New Rule
    Use a formula to determine...

    =($E5="Printer")

    Format as black
    Use Format painter (paintbrush icon) to copy to other cells
    Regards

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
