    Formula Needed to fill in color on multiple cells when a word is entered into another cell

    K7 = where the formula needs to go
    C7 = where the words "Yes" or "No" will be entered

    When "No" is entered into C7 then K7 needs to be filled with a dark gray shading

    When "Yes" is entered into C7 then K7 stays unfilled

    Like this...

    Select cell K7

    Goto the Home tab>Conditional Formatting>
    Manage rules>New rule>Use a formula to determine
    which cells to format

    Enter this formula in the box below:

    =C7="No"

    Click the Format button
    Select the Fill tab
    Select a shade of gray
    OK out
