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

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). -- David Biddulph "LWSDOT" wrote in message ...

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" HTH Kostis Vezerides On Jun 7, 6:13 pm, LWSDOT wrote: I am trying to highlight an enitire row when a column in the row contains certain text.
