Highlighting the entire row with conditional formatting

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?

You'll need to tell us what condition is being used to apply the format.

You forgot to tell us what conditions you are currently using in CF.

What rule(s) are you using to CF the row?

What cell value would return TRUE or FALSE

Sorry, I am using =AND(A5:BK5) in the 'Use a formula to determine which cells
to format' rule formula. 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. This applies
to $A$5:$BK$3000 (column BK has the true/false condition).

Ok, let's try to figure this out:

I am using =AND(A5:BK5) in the 'Use a formula...

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?

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

Ok...

Column A contains days of the week

Assuming the weekdays are TEXT entries.

Select the entire range A2:BK3000

Conditional FormattingUse a formula to determine...

=LEFT($A2)="S"
