Instead of a macro, you might like to use one of the following methods.

(1) Put the following formula in cell E1

IF(D1=”D”,”Fail”,IF(D1=”E”,”Fail”,””))

This will put the word “Fail” in cell E1. You can change the formula to any other word(s) you prefer and can drag the formula down column E .

(2) Select the data in column D, go to Format/Conditional Formatting and set two conditions:

Condition 1. Cell Value Is/Equal To/=”D”
Condition 2. Cell Value Is/Equal To/=”E”

For each condition, select your preferred highlighting.
