Conditional Formatting - HELP!
Does anyone know the expression for my example:
In cell B8, I have a drop-down list to select either "A" or "O" and applied a conditional format if cell value is "A" apply green and if cell value is "O" apply red. Here's where my problem is: I would like to apply a conditional format to cells B9-B12 based on the value of B8... if B8 equals "A" then apply green or if B8 equals "O" then apply red. Can this be done? Many thanks!! LisaD |

For your conditional format choose formula and make the formulas
=$B$8="A" and =$B$8="O" These are absolute referenced so you can copy the format down to cells B9:B12 and they will reference B8. -- HTH...

Just to add,
you can also just select B9:B12 and then do your conditional formatting so all cells get it at once. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: For your conditional format choose formula and make the formulas =$B$8="A" and =$B$8="O" These are absolute referenced so you can copy the format down to cells B9:B12 and they will reference B8. -- HTH...
