    Cell colour change

    Hi,

    I'm trying to setup conditional formatting that will change the colour of a cell depending on text entered in it.

    I would like the cell to be Red if the name Sue is in it. I would like it Green if the word Spare is in there and Yellow if any other name is in there. Is this possible as i'm tearing my hair out trying to get it to work !!!!

    Many thanks in advance for any advice.

    Re: Cell colour change

    Select the range to highlight, let's assume A1:A10

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

    =(A1="Sue")
    format as red

    =(A1="Spare")
    format as green

    =AND(A1<>"",A1<>"Sue",A1<>"Spare")
    format as yellow

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

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