Conditional formatting
I'm relatively certain that a similar question has been answered previously,
but am in a pinch, and really can't take time to read a bunch of posts. Hoping someone can help. Spreadsheet A2:N56 = data about transactions (each row is a different transaction) Column L indicates "Shipping Date" Column O =NETWORKDAYS(L2,$P$1)-1 P1=Today() Desire to highlight entire row if O2:O56 is equal to or greater than 12. All help appreciated! TIA, Sandi |

You can use conditional formating for this. Select the whole area (A2:O56),
go to Format-conditional formating, and insert the formula: =($O2=12) Choose the highlight you want with the format button. Hope this helps, Miguel.

You are a godsend.... Thanks so much! After departmental updates to the data file, I actually have ended up with 251 transactions to calculate and highlight. I modified slightly to "calculate" each row, as column "L"-shipping date varies per transaction. I have conditionally formatted the entire range as Formula Is=($O1:$O251=12) as you indicated. One quick question, however, For some reason, Row 250 is highlighted but column "O" equals only "3" - thus conditional formatting would not apply? Any ideas?

Well, you don't need to hard-code the whole range in the conditional formula.
I have used absolute references only in the column, not the row, so if you select the whole range (A1:O251) you can use the formula: =($O1=12) Don't need to use the whole $O1:$O251 range, just use the first row that you have selected. Try it, that may be the cause of the issue. Miguel. "RUSH2CROCHET" wrote: Miguel: You are a godsend.... Thanks so much!

Thanks once again! That was exactly what I needed. Come to find out, it gives you a totally different result if you start your range selection from cell O251:A2..... Happy Wednesday!
