Default How do I set up a conditional cell from a drop down list in Excel


Mon,

Select: FormatConditional Formatting. The default for Condition 1 is
"Cell Value Is". There is a dropdown arrow in that cell. When you
click on the drop down, the other option is "Formula Is". Select that
and the Formula Bar will appear to the right. Click on the formula bar
and type = then select cell A7 (it will appear in your formula bar
automatically with the $'s) then type ="Mileage" after $A$7.

Remember that in order for the conditional format to apply to all the
cells you want, you need to select them all before going to
FormatConditional Formatting.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Regards,

Steve
