Changing row color based on changing values.

My first column has a pull down menu in which the 3 choices are Y, N, and O.  If user selects N or O then I want the color to change to light red and light blue respectively with no color on the Y choice.  Everything I try just the first column changes color and I need the whole row to change color.

    Hi Elijah,

     

    Use formula for conditional formatting rules. You need two of them, for each color. Formula is like

    =$A1="N"

    and apply the rules to your entire rows or range you'd like to color

    Please see attached.
