Use something called "Conditional Formatting":

Select the relevant Row
From the toold bar select Format
Then Conditional Formating
Leave the first box as Cell Value Is
then Select Greater Than
Then Select 0 in the free type space.
Finally click on the format button just below the free type space and
select the colours you want it to change to.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Daveed,
Use conditional formatting.
Select the cells in row 1 that you want formatted this way.
In the main menu bar go FormatConditional formatting...
Click on the down arrow and select Formula Is.
In the box to the right of Formula Is type =$L$10
Click on the Format... button then make the changes for red, bold font
then click OK.
Click OK

Thanks. i would only like to apply the formatting to the entire row only if
cell L1 is greater than 0... conditional formatting doesn't seem to work on
this one.

thanks Ken. this was what i was looking for though i had to rewrite the
formula to =$L10 so it would work down the page for L2,L3 and so forth.

Many Thanks
