how do I highlight an entire row based on the value of its content
How do I highlight a row based on the value in one of it's columns.
Lets says I have a list of tasks that I have to complete. One of the columns is the status of the task. When I select the Complete status in that column I want the whole row to automatically be grayed out. Is this possible? How can I do this? |

Lets say you want cells A1:C1 to be greyed out when A1 has a value of 1.
Highlight columns A:C and select Format-Conditional Formating. Select Formula Is and insert this as your formula =$A1=1 include both equal signs. hit the Format button to assign the formatting (select the Patterns tab to assign a background color). Now in any row when A has a value of 1 the row will be greyed out. If you want a specific text use a formula like =$A1="text here" "strider" wrote: How do I highlight a row based on the value in one of it's columns.
