I know how to create a drop down list of options, and how to use conditional formatting to change the color of a cell based on the selection from the list.
However, I do not want the list item displayed in the cell, just the corresponding color box that matches the selection. Ideally, someone could enter text in that cell as well [but this is negotiable].
For example, if someone chooses 'on hold' from the drop down menu, I want to make the cell yellow, BUT, not display the words 'on hold'.
