    Question Format color in cell range

    Hi, i'm new in the forum, and i need a little help with this:

    i have a excel file where i do cost control. In the excel worksheet i have the main colums like this

    Col A = Date
    Col B = Description
    Col C = Processing
    Col D = Income
    Col E = Outcome
    Col F = Balance

    i need when in a row i change the value of the column C (Processing) to Y, the range of cells of that row from A to F change the back color to green, and when the column C is different from Y remove the green back color.

    Could you give the formula or example in excel 2003 and 2007.

    Thanks for your time!

    PD: Sorry my english.

    Select all of the range from A1:F (last row)

    In 2003:

    Go to Format|Conditional Formatting

    Select Formula Is from Drop down and enter formula: =$C1="Y"

    click Format and choose from Pattern tab.

    In 2007:

    Go to Home|Conditional Formatting|New Rule

    Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" from top section

    Enter formula: =$C1="Y"

    Click Format and choose from Fill tab.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
