I find conditional formatting very useful however I would like to be
able
to
highlight an entire row/range of cells if one cell has a given value,
using
conditional formatting I am only able to highlight the single cell. Is
it
possible to have a range/row of cells formatted in response to the
value
of
one cell?
Thanks
