    conditional formatting to highlight for certain text in a cell

    Hi everyone,
    i,m looking for a formula to highlight cells based on on text in another cell, attached is the spreadsheet im working on i want cells A thru G based on the text in column I, only 3 different values "auction block", "service over due", and "service soon". I've tried it thru the conditional formatting but it wants to highlight all cells. so i know i did something wrong, any help greatly appreciated.
