Colour Cell based on Content

[Guest]

here's one I'm sure has been asked many times before...

Column A, contains an option of HIGH, Medium, Low.
Based on what is entered, colour the cell automatically, Red, Yellow, Green.

Anyone got the formula? Or do I need to put some code in? I don't know how
to put code in, so if this is answer, please give brief guide too! Thanks...

Use conditional formatting: Format > Conditional Formatting. Set your three
conditions--you need to Add your second and third conditions.

Select all of Column A

Click Format > Conditional Formatting

Create three conditions:

Condition 1 = If Cell Value is eqaul to High -- then choose your
formatting options.

Click "Add" and repeat for other desired conditions.

Profit.

<Format><Conditional Formatting>
Choose "Formula is"
Enter 3 conditions, each having one of the following formulas (assuming cell
A1):

=A1="High"
=A1="Medium"
=A1="Low"

Choosing the format for each, respectively.
