I have a Google spreadsheet where I keep a list of bugs and whenever I fix a bug I change the status from \"Not Started\" to \"Complete\". I want to write a script for the
I think simpler (though without a script) assuming the Status column is ColumnS.
Select ColumnS and clear formatting from it. Select entire range to be formatted and Format, Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and:
=and($S1<>"",search("Complete",$S1)>0)
with fill of choice and Done.
This is not case sensitive (change search to find for that) and will highlight a row where ColumnS contains the likes of Now complete (though also Not yet complete).
