I'm trying to set up a conditional formatting based on the TEXT value of a cell and I want the row to change color if the particular cell has a value = YES or NO
How do I go about setting that up?

Solution

Select the rows and apply the conditional formatting as

Like in example below I want each row in the sheet to turn use conditional formatting if in the corresponding value in B column of that row is "YES"

So I selected all the cells, and went to the conditional formatting and applied this formula

=$B1="YES"

And change the color to red
