conditional formatting

[Jamie]

Need conditional formula to turn the numbers columns a different color for
each set of initials. All numbers where the initals in Column 2 are BS
should be blue in Column 1, SH should be pink. etc.
Col. 1 Col.2
1 BS
2 SH
3 SC
4 JO
5 SH
6 SC
7 SC

You can't do that using regular conditional formatting. Regular CF can yield
the appearance of 4 conditions. In your case, you'd need to use Visual Basic
to look through your cells, and correlate values to cell formatting.
