Default Colour Rows

Niniel,

Use Conditional Formatting. Select the rows. Note the active (white) cell of your
selection. Format - Conditional Formatting - Formula is:

=$A2 = "p"

This is for the case where the active cell of your selection was in row 2. Change the
reference to $A2 as appropriate. Click "Format" and select the Patterns tab, and the blue
color you want. OK. OK.

This is case insensitive. It will work for "P" and "p".

Hello,

I need a macro that will colour all rows in, say, neon blue, for all cells
in column A that contain the letter "P".

How could that be done?

Thank you.
