If A1:Z1 uses a drop down list containing multiple items ie. review, checked, completed and B1 has a date which is manually entered when completed, can A1 be formatted to then show the word 'closed'?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Conditional formatting doesn't change values in the cells its applied to, only the format of those cells.
