Conditional formulas: color code text populated cells?
Hi There,
I would like to set up a formula that recognizes the text (i.e. render or "R") I have noted in a cell and assign a color to it...whichever color I have designated. Is this possible or am I asking too much of MS Excel? Please advise....any feedback would greatly be appreciated! ~TKT |

You can use Conditional Formatting from the Format menu to do
this. "TKT" wrote in message ...

One way:
Assuming that cell A1 is selected: CF1: =OR(A1="R", A1="render") Format1: <patterns/<color In article , TKT wrote: Hi There, I would like to set up a formula that recognizes the text (i.e. render or "R") I have noted in a cell and assign a color to it...whichever color I have designated.

Conditional formulas: color code text populated cells?
Hi JE,
To further complicate my issue, what if I have a drop down list....can I still set it to recognize the various codes set? Example given below: F = Fixed (want to reflect blue) R = Rendering (want to reflect green) N = Null (want to reflect yellow) P = Pass (want to reflect grey) My drop down menu has the options "F", "R", "N" and "P"....once someone selects "F" or one of the other 3, can it be assigned the various colors which I've listed above? I am desperately trying to have this automatically color the cell once the code is selected. Hope I am making sense....please advise and thanks again! ~TKT "JE McGimpsey" wrote: One way: Assuming that cell A1 is selected: CF1: =OR(A1="R", A1="render") Format1: <patterns/<color In article , TKT wrote: Hi There, I would like to set up a formula that recognizes the text (i.e. render or "R") I have noted in a cell and assign a color to it...whichever color I have designated.
