    Make the result of a formula red (cannot be done in cond. format.)

    I am trying to make the result of a cell Red and Bold if the cell result of a
    formula is past due.

    For example: I have a cell(A15) that is a client name. In cell #K15, the
    cells say either Yes or No.

    I want the client name to be Red in cell #A15 if the cell #K15 is no.

    Can anyone help?

    How do I copy that down a row of cells.

    For example, If K12=No, then I want A12 to be red, bold.
    If K13=No, then I want A13 to be red, bold.
    and so forth.

    Select the whole range that you want to format, assume it is A10:A50, with
    A10 as the active cell (if you select a range starting from A10 it will be
    the active cell), then use

    =$K10="no"

    note the difference, no dollar sign before the row number so not $K$10 but
    $K10
    the repeat the steps I told you earlier

    or change the formula is in A15 to =$K15="no"

    then select A15, double click the paint brush and then "paint" the cells in
    A that you want to format

    Instead of $K$15 in cell A15 put $K15 in cell A15. Then copy / paste
    A15 down through A? as far as you want. ed
