I have a table of data that is in a range A2:BK3000. Column A contains days
of the week. I am trying to highlight the complete row from A to BK when
the
day of the week in column A is Saturday or Sunday

What's in the range A5:BK5?

Explain in *words* what your condition is to apply the formatting.

I have a true/false NOT(IF) function at the end
of each row that results in True when cells in
column B are 5.1.

What's that have to do with it?

Sorry, I am using =AND(A5:BK5) in the 'Use a formula to determine which
cells

applies
to $A$5:$BK$3000 (column BK has the true/false condition).

Hello, I am using the True/False condition to highlight an entire
row
through
conditional formatting but the highlighting stops where there is a
zero
in
a
particular cell in the row I am trying to highlight. How do I
highlight
the
entire row regardless of what characters are in the cells of that
row?
