New to Formulas

[nkell]

Hello Guys;

I was wonndering if someone could help me with a formula please.

I am running office 2010 and what I would like to do is;

when I enter a certain word in a cell, it identifies other cells in the spreadsheet by filling them with a colour so that they can have data put in them.

Hi nkell and welcome to the forum,
I wish I understood your question, but I don't.
Perhaps reading

would help?

Also - if you edit your thread title to state a problem it would conform to the formum rules and make our help easier to find and track. Also a sample workbook will sometimes really help us to understand the problem/question.

Hi and welcome to the board. Unfortunately

Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

PLEASE PM WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND I WILL DELETE THIS POST
