Default Format row based on conditional format of "Top Ten" in another cel


I am using Excel 2007.

I have 2 similar worksheets with 15 columns and 100 rows. Values in Column
K have a conditional format that highlights the cell in green if it is one of
the top 10 values in that column (on another worksheet it's if in top 20%).
I want the entire row to be the same format color, based on Column K.

I can't just copy the format because some of the columns are in "," format,
some in
"%" format, and so on. I'm not proficient enough in Excel to know how to
write this formula as a conditional format.

Here is an abbreviated picture of what rows 1 and 9 look like. To get the
conditional format in Column D I chose "Conditional formatting - highlighting
rules - "Format only top or bottom ranked values" - "format values that rank
in the [drop down menu] top" 10 [fill in] as green fill.

In the example below, K2 is not in the top 10 values, but K9 is. On my
spreadsheet cell K9 is green. I would like to make all the cells in that row
be green. I can't copy the format, because some of the columns are
percentages, some are dollars, and so on. I entered the formula by using
drop down menus in the conditional formatting choices, and I don't know how
to put a formula in the other columns that says if $K9 is in Top 10 of $K$2:$K$100, then green fill, otherwise no fill.


A B C €¦€¦ K M N
1 Name YTD DT % DT Goal Hrly Rate Adj DT % New Target
2 Bowen 70.6% 85% $36.94 + 5% $66,153
9 Clark 81.0% 82% $56.48 +1% $98,722

Can anyone offer a solution?
