Hi Kate,

Highlight the entire area that will be subject to the conditional
formatting, highlight as far across the rows as required. Format, Conditional
Formatting and select Formula Is. Then enter your required formula:
=$A2="Completed", then apply the required format. Click OK

Hope that helps,

I am creating an action plan in excel 2003 and I want to use conditional
formatting to format the row once a cell in the action status column reads
"Completed".

I can use Conditional Formatting to format the cell containing "Completed"
however I don't know what to do to apply this formatting to the rest of the
row in the range.

Can anyone help me with this!

Cheers
