I currently have the following Conditional Format rule that changes fill color of cells in column A based on Text found in column B.
Formula chosen is
=AND($A1="", $B1="EE")

Applied to
=$A$1

I would like to add additional Text items to look for so that It will change the color if "EE" or "H" or "V" is in Column B. I have tried several things but have not gotten it to work.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
How about
=AND($A1="", OR($B1="EE",$B1="H",$B1="V"))

You can highlight column B>click on conditional formation>create a new rule> select the rule as "Format only cells that contain>in that rule you will see an option as "Format only cells with">in that option select "Specific Text">Add your text and choose which color format you want to keep>click ok

You can keep adding multiple rules in the same column i.e. B. I hope this would help you.
