I have a question about conditional formatting. I have cells beginning with
the text "no exceptions noted", and others beginning with the text
"exceptions noted". For "no exceptions noted" I would like conditional
formatting to change the cell to a red background color and, for the other, a
green background color. I tried using conditional formating with cell value
equal to each of the texts (and changing the result to the appropriate
background color) but it didn't work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
