Sloth i know that you replied with a formula, but still cannot get it
to
work.below is the sort of worksheet i am using, and have discribed
below
what
i want it to do.
also can you explain how to enter the formula and where thank you.



A B C D E G
1 63 59 78 89 58 12:40
2 22 54 36 74 25 11:10
3 19 36 27 46 58 12:25
4 46 98 68 96 56 0

When i enter a time is column G i would like the wholeof that row to
highlighted up to and including G, if i enter 0 because a time has not
been
established i do not want the row to be highlighted, but then if i do
establish a time late i can enter the time and the row will be
highlighted,if
the formula you gave me will do that, could you also let me know how
to
enter
it on the worksheet, new to this sort of thing.
