Hi!

Are you sure that you want to shade the *entire* row from
column A to column IV ?

If that's what you want then select the entire row by
selecting the row number header at the far left of the
sheet. Use a cf formula like:

=$N1="+"

Hi! I have a row of invoice information that I want to
shade if the cell in
column N has a "+" sign (where the "+" sign indicates
that the invoice has
been paid.) I have 26 worksheets in the workbook so I
thought I could write
the conditional format to apply to one row and then check
entire workbook so
that the function would check each row in each worksheet
and then shade the
row if the cell in column N contained the "+" sign but I
can only get the
cell in row N to shade if there is a "+" sign in that
cell. How to I write
the function to check the cell in column N and then shade
the entire row, not
just the cell in column N?
