Is there a way to write an if statement that will make a cell turn a specific color? For example, if the word yes appears in cell b3, b2 turns red.

Use Conditional Formatting

Select B2

Click Format...Conditional Formatting

Pull Dropdown to Formula Is...

Enter =IF(B3="Yes",TRUE,FALSE)

Click the Format button, choose the Patterns tab, pick your color.
