Hi,

I have a spreadsheet with a list of cases in rows. Coloumn D lieterally has
a letter B or R, basically I would like some code that if coloumn D says R
then that row is displayed in red if coloumn D says B then the row is
displayed in blue.

Is this possible
Many Thanks
Glenn Robertson

You can use Conditional Formatting from the Format menu to do
this. Select the cells in columns D and open the Conditional
Formatting dialog, change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is" and
enter the following formula:

=D1="R"

Click the Format button and choose a Red format. Then click the
Add button to create a new format condition, and change "Cell
Value Is" to "Formula Is" and use the following formula:

=D1="B"

Click the Format button and choose a Blue format.

Glenn,

select the rows in question (let's assume it starts in row 1)
goto FormatConditional Formatting
change condition to Formula Is
add a formula of =$D1="R" (the start row)
select the pattern tab, and choose red
OK
Add condition
same procedure with a formula of =$D1="B"
OK out
