Hi!
I would like to format an entire column so that if there is any entry in column B (in the same row) the font in column A will be blue, if there is an entry in column C, the font will be red etc.
I can figure out how to do the formatting one row at a time but I'd like to be able to format the first row and have the same rule in every row without having to manually put it in.
Thanks for your help!

KItKatpdx, Good afternoon.

Try to do this one:
Select the range you desire: ex.: A3:A50

Menu --> Conditional Format --> New rule

1) Use a formula to determine which cells to format:
Use the formula: =B3<>""
Format Font color as you want: BLUE -- OK

New rule
2) Use a formula to determine which cells to format:
Use the formula: =C3<>""
Format Font color as you want: RED -- OK

OK

Please, tell us if it worked for you.
I hope it helps.
