formula for CF
Select the cells that you want to shade, open the CF dialog, choose
Formula and enter =E1="done" Change E1 to the first row to be shaded. The formatting needs to be applied to all the cells in the rows, not just the cells in column E.

BTW (general question) is there some way to see and/or edit what conditional
formula had been used in a file? It looks like you can only make a new rule or clear rules. "T. Valko" wrote: Excel 2007 cols A-E, rows 6-35. if the answer in E is "done" then shade that row.
