Is there any good reason you need an extra column to display Yes (meaning Yes
there is Computer in the other column) and then Make it Red instead of
checking your original column and making that Red if it displays computer ?

Go to cell C2 and write formula
= if(a2="Computer"; "Yes", "")

and then use "Format-Conditional Formating",
choose from listboxes 'Value Is' and 'equals',
write ="Yes",
press Format button and choose desired cell format.

I don't know how to do this in one step without a macro.
