    Conditional Formatting to Auto Fill Cell

    Hi - I have written in some conditional formatting to have a cells automatically updated based on a response in a cell above. That is: If a no response is chosen to a certain question, then all other questions in that range are to also be a No response.

    I have attached the document im working on with an outline of what the problem is!!!!

    Any help will be muchly appreciated!!!!

    This means: If cell E16 is equal to No then i want e17, e18, e19 etc to also equal no. I have tried conditional formatting a few ways - but just dont get it!!!

    nope thats not it
    you need just
    =$E$16="no"
    then copy that format to the other cells
