Changing Row Color
I would sure appreciate some assistance in row shading / colors.
I am using Excel 2003. I have data in columns A through N, with multiple rows. Column G has a list box / drop down box, that you make a selection from the list. There are 6 choices in the list. I am trying to make the row color change based on what is selected in the list in column G. For example, when apple is selected from the list, that specific row turns red. The next row, grape is selected and the row turns green, plum = purple, corn = yellow, etc. Conditional formatting allows for 3 conditions, I need 6. Please and thank you, in advance, for any and all assistance / help / suggesions. Gs |

Thank you for responding so quickly. I did as you suggested, but it didn't
work for me. Can you help more? Do I have to do something to activate it? I copied and pasted it in the panel and then selected File/Close and Return to Excel.
