When you change Condition 1 dropdown to Formula Is, there will be an empty
text box to the right. Add it there.

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.
