Hello All,
Kind of stuck. Looking for a formula in conditional format
to color rows where entries does not contain the starting
word is Americas. I tried to do less than Americas, which
it colors the rows but it seems to color the Whole Column.
I don't want whole column just those rows.

any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Juan
