Hi
lets say you want to color row 1 if cell A1 contains this

text.
- select the entire row
- goto the conditional formating dialog
- enter the following formula:
=ISERROR(SEARCH("Americas",$A1))

You can even select more rows and enter the same formula

or copy this
format to other rows

Hello Frank,
thanks. But doesn't seem to work. It does colors the

cell
but not the complete row, which is what I want to do.

Plus
it still colors the Whole Column.
I'll continue playign around with this and see if I'm
able to get it to work.
Any other ideas would be great.

Thanks for your time

Juan

Hello All,
Kind of stuck. Looking for a formula in conditional

format
to color rows where entries does not contain the

starting
word is Americas. I tried to do less than Americas,

which
it colors the rows but it seems to color the Whole

Column.
I don't want whole column just those rows.

any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Juan
