From your explanation you could just change the background color of the cells
without the conditional format. But asuming there is information in the row
containing barge information that indicates a problem condition you could use
conditional formating to highlight the row. As an example, if in column A
you had a 1 if this was a problem barge and no entry if it wasn't. You could
then select the entire range of barge information and set in conditional
formating in the "Formula is" dropdown =$a1 = 1 and all rows with a 1 in
column A would receive the format you set.

I have a form that we use at work... I have some problem barges that
come in time to time that we have to make changes to the job orders on.
I put all the barges on this excel sheet. What I need is maybe an if
statement or conditional foremat that will either shade the cell in or
something. Just some way of letting me know that it is one of the
problem jobs. The thing is I have used conditional formatting but you
can only do three, I have at least 10 or so barges. I really don't know
how to use the "IF" statement. Can anyone help me with this?
