Use
=$A1=99
if you want to paint the formula down to other rows. You may also select
more than one row, starting at row 1 and then enter the above formula

Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...

Mike, in your formula, what would I use in place of "99" if the space is
originally blank and I intend to enter dates there. I would like to highlight
the row when the date is entered. No specific date is expected to be entered
as it would be based on when the action occurs.
Thanks,

Try
=$A11

If you are entering dates in the current century ( 1/1/2000 or later)
then you can use
=$A136525
