How Do I Condition A Entire Row, Based On The Content Of A Cell.
Hi Emmily
You need to enclose the test value in quotes.
You need the row reference to be Relative, not absolute as you have. Remove
the $ before the row number
=$H1="Closed"

Thank you both for taking the time and the trouble to post a reply.
However, I'm uncertain that I've followed your instructions correctly as
it
doesn't seem to work.
From Conditional Formating in Excel 07, I choose from the drop down menu:
Use A Formula To Determine Which Cells To Format.
I then enter into the box below (where it states: Format Values Where This
Forumla Is True) the following:
=$H$1=Closed
Then I choose a colour.
Then I paste / copy this formula into all the other cells so if the word
Closed appears in Column 8, the entire row will change to the same colour.
Kind Regards
Emmily
