If statement
I have set up a simple spreadsheet for my son to use to study his vocabulary
words. He enters the letters A-L in a column and if he enters them correctly I have it setup to read super or awesome in another column. I would also like to incorporate into my if statement something that would fill in the cell that matches in yellow color. I currently have the formula IF(B1=C1, "Super", "Try Again") he enters the answer in B and I have entered the correct answer in C but hide column C. Is it possible to use the IF statement to color fill a-l yellow if correct -- Anita |

Use Conditional Formatting. Format-Conditional Formatting.
For cell B1. Cell Value is equal to =C1 Change the Format-Patterns. Select desired color. HTH, Paul "Anita Howard" wrote in message ...
