I have to input client's last and first names ( 2 different columns). I want
to be able to type the last name and each cell in the last name column will
change color automatically when I type. I know how to color the whole column
but not this method. A coworker was able to do it but she left and I can't
ask her. Hope I made sense, if someone could guide me I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
