Default drop down list formula

These were very helpful as well. Couldn't find the conditionals in '07 for a
minute but tracked it down. :) Thank you.

Eric,

I have a worksheet that does exactly this.

If you put a conditional format on C7 with 3 conditions this will work.

Condition 1
Formula Is =COUNTIF($G$18:$G$32,"Red")0
Select the Red Fill as the format

Condition 2
Formula Is =COUNTIF($G$18:$G$32,"Yellow")0
Select the Yellow Fill as the format

Condition 3
Formula Is =COUNTIF($G$18:$G$32,"Green")0
Select the Green Fill as the format

Basically what I'm trying to do is I have cells G18 through G32 that have
drop down values of "Green", "Yellow", and "Red". I have another cell (let's
call it C7) that I want to display one of these colors as a summary cell. For
example if all the G cells are "Green" then C7 is "Green", but if any of the
G cells is either "Yellow" or "Red" then C7 will display as either "Yellow"
or "Red" ("Red" if both are present). Any help with this formula would be
welcome. Thanks.
