CONDITIONAL FORMATTING- EXCEL

If COLUMN Z is more than 36... then i want it to highlight the entire row.

I have 70 rows, all with different numbers in that are already all working,
however, if the number gets above 36 in the Z COLUMN, i want it to highligh
the ENTIRE row. How do I get it to do this please guys?

1. Select the cell/Range (say A1:Z70) or the entire rows 1 to 70 . Please
note that the rowl reference 1 mentioned in the formula is the active row in
the selection. Active row will have the active cell with white background
even after selection

2. From menu FormatConditional Formatting
3. For Condition1Select 'Formula Is' and enter the below formula
=$Z136

4. Click Format ButtonPattern and select your color (say Red)
5. Hit OK

PS: If you are using XL2007 Goto Home tabStylesConditional
FormattingManage rulesNew ruleUse a formula to determine which cells to
format. Enter the formula in the box below.

Place the cursor in Z1 cell and press Shiftl+Spacebar and now the 1st Row
will be getting selected. Z1 should be the active cell (Active Cell will
have a white Background after selection also). Extend your selection by
holding Shift+Down Arrow upto your desired row.

Excel 2003:-
Select FormatConditional FormattingCondition 1Formula Is
=$Z136
Then Click the Format command button and choose your desired Font and
Pattern colour and give Ok…

Both Jacob and Ms-Exl-Learner gave you a good start

Rather than using Z136 - use Max(Z:Z)36
