Place this code in the "sheet" module that corresponds to the sheet you want
to monitor.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim strAddress As String
Dim rngFormat As Range
If (Target.Cells(1).Column = 1) Then
strAddress = "B" & Trim$(Target.Cells(1).Row) & ":E" &
Trim$(Target.Cells(1).Row)
Set rngFormat = Target.Parent.Range(strAddress)
If (Len(Target.Cells(1).Value) = 0) Then
rngFormat.Font.Strikethrough = False
ElseIf (Asc(Target.Cells(1) = 118)) Then ' 118 is the ascii code
for the sq rt symbol
rngFormat.Font.Strikethrough = True
End If
Application.Calculate
End If
End Sub

The reason this is tricky is because all the other columns have all 3
possible conditional formatting slots taken, so it seems one would need to
use code for this.
I use the square root symbol (representing a checkmark) in a pulldown menu
in column A. So column A is either empty or it has this symbol. When
empty, nothing happens; but if user chooses this "checkmark" symbol, the
cells in column B to E of that row should then have a strikethrough applied
to the text in that row. Also, where would one put the vb code to do this?
I've searched the archives but so far no mention has been made on where this
type of code to augment conditional formatting should go.
