David had provided the solution to you...

Are you selecting the whole range?

Try once more
Select A1:F100
Choose CF
Choose Formula is
Type =$A1="X"
Choose Formatting

This will color the row, upto Col F, if that row has X in Col A

Note the absolute reference for the column.

I have a row with data spanning 6 columns. Each Col is formatted
differently
(some as date, text, or numbers.)

How do I change the entire row to a color if the entry in Col A (formatted
as text) is equal to X? (If I try to copy Col A's format across the row,
it
changes the formatting in the other Cols all to text.)

Thx,
