I am trying to shade all rows that are associated with a specific value of column B as =$B2="BAMS", yet custom formula keeps saying the wrong formula.
Any idea?

1on the image the first parenthesis are wrong. and also it should be B1 coz you start at A1 - i.stack.imgur.com/pJIWN.png – user0 May 31 '19 at 3:56

1thanks it worked, but why I need to start from B1, I tried B2 and it give me all row that has no BAMS – Ahmed May 31 '19 at 3:59

@kernel now I am not sure what are you after... I got the impression that you want to color the rows that do contain BAMS. if you want opposite then the formula should be
=$B1<>"BAMS"or=AND($B1<>"BAMS", B1<>"")if you want to offset it by one row then B2 is ok – user0 May 31 '19 at 4:03 -
Ok. I found that if I want to color all rows with BAMS, then all B with odd number do work (B1 or B3 or B5 etc ..), but if I want to color all rows offset by one then all even number of B works (B2, or B4, ...). – Ahmed May 31 '19 at 4:31
