    I dont even know where to start:

     

    Column Stage         Column Status Dropdown List

    RED Ball                   Not Started

    Green Ball                In Progress

    Yellow Ball               Waiting

    Blue Ball                   Completed

     

    How and Where do I put in a formula to select from Status dropdown list Not Started and have

    the Red Ball show up automatically in Column Stage?

     

    I know this must be simple.  But have no I idea where to start.  Please help asap.

    Schultis,

     

    =IF([Status]23 = "Not Started", "Red")

     

    for row 23

     

    Be aware the if you manually change the Stage column to a different (or no) color, the formula will be overridden (and gone).

    What you want is Nested If's for each drop down selection and its corresponding RYGB color.

     

    See this article for help on Nested If's
