Hi

I am looking to format my worksheet with different colours based on a data validation drop down list. I currently can get the drop down cell to be the correct colour but would like the whole worksheet (Columns B-J, Rows 2-67) to be different colours.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

thanks for this, however it only works to format each cell with the required text. I am looking to format the whole worksheet based on text in one cell.

Hi,

If you input a Formula as a Rule in Conditional Formatting ... you can format the whole sheet ...
