How do I Highlight a row, where something is found?
 

I am trying to highlight an enitire row when a column in the row contains
certain text. I can get it to highlight the box that it is in but I would
like to highlight the whole row if possible.

You haven't told us what conditional format formula you are using, but try
something of the form Formula is =$A1="wanted text".
(Absolute reference for the column, relative reference for the row).

Select ALL columns of your data (or even the entire sheet). Assuming
your test column is C:C and you selected from row 1.

Conditional Formatting, Formula Is:

=$C1="my choice"
