change background-color depending on cell-content

[tini]

Hello,

There is one cell per row which can have six different
contents. Depending on what there is chosen, I like to
change the background-color from different cells in the
same row. How can I do that? Is it possible without VBA?

Please help me!

Hi,

Have you tried to use the "Conditional formating"
In the menu select Format->Conditional Formating

PS: I have a portuguese version so I don't know if the
terms in english are those I mention, but they must be
similar.
