Hello,
I need help with conditional formatting. I need to be able to change the color of a cell based on information in another cell. For example if A1 = Yes A2 is red, If A1 = No A2 is green.
How can I do this?
Thanks!

Highlight cell A2 and open the conditional format screen.
Condition1: Formula Is: =A1="yes"
...and set the red color
Add>>
Condition2: Formula Is: =A1="no"
...and set the green color

Hmmm, I have content in cell A2 that I want to keep there. I just want to change the background color in cell A2 but leave the content that is there. How do I do that?
Follow the instructions in post #2. Do not change the cell content. Format > Conditional Formatting....etc.
