Default Highlighting cells when others are populated

Hello all

I would like to be able to use conditional formatting so that when I
enter a value in a cell it highlights the first 4 cells in that row.

There is already a formula in place that means all cells from
E5:LZ203 highlight green if a value is entered (=NOT(ISBLANK(E5)).

Eg: I have entered 2 into cells V6:W6 and they go green.

However in addition what I would like to happen is that the first 4
cells in that row change colour (basically means its planned). In
this case A6:D6.

Help!


Not clear on what you're trying to do, but sounds like you just need to
copy the CF to cels ib A:D for the desired rows.

Also, be aware your CF formula uses 2 functions where a single function
would suffice (and be more efficient)...

=LEN(E5)
