Check into Conditional Formatting:
If you are only basing it on the current cell value
Leave condition 1 drop down as Cell Value is, change the second drop down
to: equal to. And type ="YES" in the final box. Then click on format to
change your format. Click add to add a second condition for NO.

Hi All,

I am creating a "Data Validation" on "Sheet 1".

The Data for the drop down list is on "Sheet 2" e.g. "YES", "NO".

I have created the drop down list which gives me the drop down "YES" & "NO"
on Sheet 1.

My iquiry is, when I select "YES" on the drop down list it places "YES" in
the cell. I also want the "cell fill colour" to change to "GREEN". Also when
I select "NO" I want the the "cell fill colour" to change to "RED".

Can anyone help me?
