Default cell color

Hello best excellers.
I have a sheet for my empolyees with the days on which they should work.
I want to change the color of the cell automatically to blue whenever I put
a " v " (vacation) in it and it should work voor all the cells.

Sorry for my bad English if it is not understandabl.

Thanks in advance

David

Select all the cells, then hit Format--Conditional formatting, David.
Choose Cell Value = and type a V into the box.
