Say your data's in columns A thru Z
Highlight columns A thru Z
get into conditional formating
For a formula put...
=Left($a4,1)='n'

This will keep Excel looking at column A for comparison to 'n' yet will
highlight columns A thru Z

Gary,
Not sure what I am doing incorrectly. When I change the formula to read
=left($a4,1)=n the red fill color disappears, and the cells A4 throught d4
are not formatted with the color.

what did not do.
thanks
Dick
