Conditional Formatting (Hightlight row based on one condition)
Hi,
I've looked through the conditional formatting section but can't find anything. Here is my problem... A B C D E 1 DD SS WW 1 2 SS QQ EE 4 Now what I require is for section A1-D1 to highlight in red when A1=E1, so for my example I would only expect to see one row highlighted because there is only one match. Your help again is much appreciated. Regards, James. |

Block the entire range you want to format conditionally - in your example's
case, A1:D2 Click on Formatting, select Conditional Formatting, and in the window that then pops up, change Cell Value Is to Formula Is. In the box to the right of this type =$A1=$E1. Click on the format button, select Patterns, select Red, and OK out "Jamesy" wrote: Hi, I've looked through the conditional formatting section but can't find anything. Here is my problem...

one way:
Select columns A-D, with A1 as the active cell. Choose Format/Conditional Formatting and use the dropdowns and input box to enter: CF1: Formula is =$A1=$E1 Format1: <patterns/<your color here In article , Jamesy wrote: Hi, I've looked through the conditional formatting section but can't find anything.
