Select all cells by clicking the square in the upper left hand corner of the
sheet.

Click Format-Conditional Formatting

Select "Formula is" and enter this formula (with both equals)

=$D1="completed"

click format and go to the "Patterns" tab. Select the color you want.
Select "OK" twice.

Now whenever a cell in column D equals "completed" the whole row will be
highlighted. Change D to the column you want.
