Default Conditional Formatting based on cell text

I am currently filling in the entire row Yellow if the cell in column Q
doesn't have anything in it. I want to fill with a different color if the
first characters in the cell are "Shipped". How do I do this? I am using
the following formula to fill it yellow...

=NOT(ISBLANK($Q4))

Thanks!

try:

or
=LEFT($Q4,7)="Shipped"

I do that with two conditional formats.
On B3, I have Condition 1
Cell Value Is greater than 10
and Condition 2
Formula Is =AND(B3<4,B3<"

The Format...s for the two conditions select different colors in the
Patterns tab.
