Cell color depending on statement
You can use Conditional Formating for this (Format menu). Just add the
conditions that the values should be exactly OK or ERROR and set the colors you want. Hope this helps, Miguel.

Use Format/conditional formatting and enter value of OK & select format of
Green (click Format button, then Patterns tab), then click the Add button, enter value of ERROR and select format of Red. Bob Umlas Excel MVP "kvadre" wrote in message ...
