HOW CAN I APPLY CONDITIONAL FORMATTING BASED TO AN ENTIRE ROW?
I have a reasonably large spreadsheet (about 2000 rows) and i need to format
each row based on the value of a cell in a specific column. For example, if there is a "B" in Cell I20, I need to fill the whole of Row 20 with the colour green. I then need to apply this to every row. Similarly if there is a different letter, I need to make the row a different colour... All help gratefully appreciated! J |

Assuming you have three or fewer conditions, then conditional formatting can
handle this. In A20, for example, set the first CF to read 'formula is' =$I20="B". You can fill this across and down. Additional conditions can be applied just like normal.

If you have only 3 letters to react to, you can do this with conditional
formatting. Select your row with the activecell in column A for instance. in conditional formatting, change Cell Value is to formula is, then enter a formula like So assume we have selected rows 1 to 100 and the active Cell is A1. =A1=$I1 then click the format button and choose the pattern. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "James M" <James wrote in message ...

Fantastic! I knew it had to be something simple.. If I have more conditions,
do you have any ideas? Also, I know this odd but is there a way of doing this in reverse?... i.e. if it is green insert a "b"?

You would need a macro to react to a color.
