Noit in the cell formula but you can use Conditional Formatting to change the
color of the cell.
Format>Conditional Formatting:Formula is
=A1="Noelsy" Format to a color.
If A1 contains Noelsy the cell will be colored.
If it contains Gord it will not be colored.
Or for this simple example CF>Cell Value is equal to Noelsy would return the
color if true.
