[XL07] Conditionally format fill color for entire row
Oops, I should have seen that myself. My age must be having an effect. Thanks
for your help! "David Biddulph" wrote: You need to understand the difference between relative and absolute addressing. Having seen what you've got in your formula for formatting A3, have a look at what you've got as the formula for cell B4, for example. If you are trying to apply the format to all columns as a result of the content of column D, then in your original formula change your =D3="VG" to =$D3="VG" -- David Biddulph "Derf" wrote in message ... The formula reads as =D3="VG" and it applies to =$A$3:$D$27 Only the "A" column gets formatted. Did I provide what you needed? Thanks. "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: How does the formula look under formula is ? -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Derf" wrote in message ... I have a related problem. In trying to change the color of the entire row based on the contents of one cell in that row, only the first column gets changed. The format indicates that it applies to $A$3:$D$22. What have I done wrong? Thanks "M Kan" wrote: Use a conditional format, Formula Is and tie it to your target cell. Once you've verified it works, click the format painter then the row. -- Tips for Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Other Applications http://www.kan.org/tips "Trevor Stone" wrote: Hi All, Is it possible to conditionally format the fill color for an entire row based on a cell reference? For instance, Columns 1,2,and 3 are text but column 4 is a number. I'd like to fill the whole row blue if the number in that row equals 100. Then I think I can use the painter to copy the formatting to the rest of the sheet. Any ideas would be great. Thanks, Trevor |

Conditionally format fill color for entire row
I tried this method, and it formatted the entire selection without regard for
the conditional part. Obviously, I may have erred in the way I did it. I do have the problem handled via the post from David. Thanks for your input.

I mean, select them all first, because then Excel should do the absolute/relative reference properly automatically. |
