I'd like to automatically color code an entire row of a spreadsheet I'm creating based on the entry of a single cell. The cells with the entries are all in the same column in no particular order. Example, type in 'SS' turns the row red, 'ST' turns it green.
Thank You
Ed

Select the row.
Format>Conditional Formatting>Formula is:
=$A1="SS" format to red
Add>Condtion2
=$A1="ST" format to green.
Excel 2007 very similar except uses "rules" instead of "conditions"
