This should do it
Select A12, apply the CF using Formula Is ..
Cond1: =COUNTIF($X$2:$X$1000,"WAPR")
Cond2: =COUNTIF($X$2:$X$1000,"JM")
Format to taste, ok out

Would anyone have an Idea on how to apply conditional formatting to a column
(Say X2:X1000) that will only be populated with one of three words. I would
like to have cell, say A12 to change colors based on X having 2 of these
words.
I am using two formulas for conditions
1. =if(€œWAPR€�=X2:X1000,1,0) this will render a Red Cell
2. =If(€œJM€�=X2:X1000,1,0) this will render Green
One condition is that the Red needs to be displayed until all conditions for
WARP are changed to JM. For some reason the formulas are only looking at
cell X2 and nothing bellow. Please help.
