Default CHANGE COLOR OF A ROW

Hi,

How do you make a row change color dependent upon a reponse in one of the
cells?

Thanks

One way is via conditional formatting ..
Let's say you want to color entire rows where the value in col B = 5
Select the entire sheet, apply CF via Formula Is:
=$B1=5
(the key is to fix the point to col B using the $ sign)
Format to taste ok out
Test it out, enter: 5 anywhere in col B, the entire row will get formatted

Success? Celebrate it, hit the YES below

Glad to hear. Could you spare a moment to hit the YES button (like the one
below) in that response? Thanks.
