    Schultis,

    Β 

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

    Β 

    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
