coloring in rows
 

Hi

Could somebody please help me with the following problem?

How do I set a conditional format that if L5,M5, or N5 = “BAD” then
highlight the row yellow, otherwise leave it the standard non fill
color (clear)

Thanks

Andrew

Select Row 5. Format Conditional Formatting. Formula is:
=OR($L5="Bad",$N5="Bad",$M5="Bad")
Set the required colour format,

Hope this helps

Select the row, and in CF use a formula of =COUNTIF($L$5:$N$5,"BAD")0, and
in the pattern tab choose your colour.

The formula works but its NQR

It only colors in rows that do not have text in them not the whole row.
Can you think why this would be?

It works for me. How did you implement it? Did you mean only colours in
CELLS that do not have text in them and not whole row?

Try this again:
Select Row 5.
FormatConditional FormattingDeleteCondition 1OK.
Now change the first Drop Down from "Cell Value is" to "Formula Is".
Then in the right hand box paste the formula:
=OR($L5="Bad",$N5="Bad",$M5="Bad")
Set your required formatting.
