Default Conditional Formatting

I am working with a value matrix in Excel 2007. Each category's response
field is set up as a data validation drop down menu. The person responding
clicks on the drop down and chooses good, fair, or bad to a particular
question
Can I use conditional formatting to change the color of the response
depending on whether the person chooses good, fair, or bad from the drop down
menu?

Thanks,

Default Conditional Formatting

Yes, you can use Cell Contents then Equal To and put in "good" and
set your colour. Add another condition for "Fair" with a different
colour, and then a third condition for "Bad" with its colour.

Hope this helps.
