Change Color on rows, after an IF Funtion is answered
I have a spread sheet where we track hazards.
1st column is the description of the hazard 2nd, 3rd, & 4th column are rating 4th is the total of the previous 5th Column is the If Funtion and returns with the words either HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. I would like to color code the row based on the answer in the 5th cell. Is there a way to do this with a Function or a Macro? |

Use conditional formatting. Look it up in Excel help.

Conditional formatting would be perfect for this.

As David mentioned, Conditional Formatting is what you want here. Although,
the Excel Help isn't always that helpful. Try this: - Select your range of data to apply the formatting to (make the top-left cell the active cell, I'll assume cell A1 for this example) - Select Conditional Formatting - Use the Custom Formula: =$E1="HIGH" - Set your color format - Add a second condition - Use the Custom Formula: =$E1="MEDIUM" - Set your color format - Add a third condition - USe the Custom Formula: =$E1="LOW" - Set your color format That should do it.
