Let's assume the range you want to format is A1:F5.

Select the *entire* range A1:F5 starting from cell A1. Cell A1 will be the
active cell. The active cell is the one cell in the selected range that is
not shaded. The formula will be relative to the active cell.

Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting
Select the Formula Is option
Enter this formula in the box on the right:
=(COUNTA($A1:$E1)0)*(COUNT($F1)=0)
Click the Format button
Select the desired style(s)
OK out

Date will be entered at the end as this will be the date task competed.
But
just in case if date is entered then row should be left non formated.

Thanks,

I have data in multipal rows and one column is for date. If date column
is
blank I would like to highlight rest of the row in color.

A B C D E F
21 32 12 54 12 OCT 12, 2009
23 43 12 11 34

As F2 is blank I would like to highlight row 2 to be yellow. This
should
happen only once I start placing the data in this row.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Kimti
