How can I format one cell based on the contents of another cell. I would
like
to have the color of a row of cells change automatically based on the
contents of one of the cells in the subject row. Example: if A1 reads
"YES",
then I want cells A1 through G1 to change color from no color to green. if
A1
reads "NO", then I want cells A1 through G1 to change color to red and if
A!
is blank, then I want the cells to stay with no color.
