Do you know how to do this in the newest version of Excel? The closest
thing
I can find there is an option to decide *which*cell to format based on a
formula, but what I really want to do is use a gradient scale based on
value
in a different column. Thanks for your help.

Christine,

Yes. In A1 go to Conditional Formatting. Change the Cell Value is
option to Formula is. Enter

=B1="Your Text"

Click Format, Font select the color you want. Click OK, OK.
