As you want more than 3 conditions you need VBA
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A6")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case LCase(.Value)
Case "dog": .Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 10).Interior.ColorIndex
= 3
Case "cat": .Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 10).Interior.ColorIndex
= 5
Case "fish": .Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 10).Interior.ColorIndex
= 10
Case "bird": .Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 10).Interior.ColorIndex
= 19
Case "horse": .Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
10).Interior.ColorIndex = 20
Case "snake": .Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
10).Interior.ColorIndex = 34
End Select
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
Haven't checked the colours

Reposted and condensed from post in Worksheet functions.....
A1:A6 can equal dog,cat,fish,bird,horse,snake. I want to conditionally
format B1:K6 based on the A1:A6 value. I want a different color for the row
dependent on the entry in Column A.
