Default Changing text color based upon If

You can certainly select a range of cells before you apply CF in Excel 2003.
I would be surprised if you can't in 2007, though I know that there have
been some "improvements".

Thank you. But is it possible to select cells B2 through B116 to have
them
compare between A2 through A116 so that I wouldn't have to repeat the
function 115 times? I thought I might be able to select a group of cells
to
apply the formula too. I am using 2007 by the way.
