If I wanted to color the color of a specific range in a row if you enter "yes" or "no". What is the formula to do that?

Hi,
You will need to use conditional formatting and the 'Use a formula....' option
The formula would be

and in the 'applies to' box enter the range concerned. e.g. E1:Z1, or if you want this to apply in a range of rows apply it to the range, e.g E1:Z100

you can do that with conditional formatting, but it is impossble to suggest a formula without seeing the data you are working with.
give a try yourself though...
1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
2. on the home tabe, styles, select CF
3. select new rule, select use formula
4. enter =$A1="Yes" format fill as needed
If this doesnt work for you,

I'm kind of new to all this. Let me try to explain. All of the titles for may worksheet are on cells A1 and across. Let use for example A1:A10. So I enter the data from B2:B10. So what I want the formula to do is if I enter a "yes" on cell B7 I want it to turn that whole range of cells Green. And if I enter a "No" I would like it to automatically turn the whole range Red. Does that make more sense?

yes, I think we understand what you want. follow the instructions and you will get there
lets assume that your data goes across to column E
1. highlight the range A2:E10
2. on the home tabe, styles, select CF
3. select new rule, select use formula
4. enter =$B2="Yes" format fill GREEN
repeat 3 and 4
4. enter =$B2="No" format fill RED
If you still have a problem, upload a sample workbook for us to look at
