shaded rows
In Office2003 (you don't specify the version, so I'm presuming) you do the
following: Select FORMAT..CONDITIONAL FORMATTING. Select FORMULA IS instead of CELL VALUE IS in the first drop-down. type as formula (e.g.) "=(B5=true)". Click the FORMAT button, and under PATTERNS TAB, select the back-ground colour you want. Click OK & Bingo. good luck.

You could use Conditional Formatting.
By "selected" do you mean "yes" is typed into the cell? If you data is in A2:D15, select A2:D15. Choose Conditional Formatting from the Format menu. Change to Formula is and type =$A2="yes" and set your format. -- tj "sunderland27" wrote: how would i trigger my rows to shade a particular color if a certain field was selected "Yes"? |
