Hi All
We have a worksheet that lists Customer invoices the breakdown is from Column A to Column M and rows 1-500 and every month we send an invoice to each customer. In Column M when the customer settles their invoice I enter the letter P in the cell, so that we know its been paid. It would be a time saver after entering the Letter P if all the Cells A:L on that row would change colour. A quick scroll down to row 500 would then tell us who was paid up or in default. Tried Conditional Formatting but it won't let me use a range for some reason beyond my capabilities. -- Many thanks hazel |

yes you can use conditional formatting...........
highlight a1:m1 & click conditional formatting choose "formula is" and paste this formula in =ISTEXT($P1) select your formatting (in this case, shading). then copy row a1:m1 & paste down through row 500 using paste special - paste formats. then when you enter ANYTHING in column p, the whole row will shade whatever color you choose. if you want it to also include column p, then select a1:p1 before you conditionally format. hth! susan On Feb 12, 11:19 am, Hazel wrote: Hi All We have a worksheet that lists Customer invoices the breakdown is from Column A to Column M and rows 1-500 and every month we send an invoice to each customer.

Pick any cell in row 1 and enter conditional formatting:
Foumla is =$P1="P" then copy this cell and paste/special/format across the row. Then copy the formats for any other rows. -- Gary's Student gsnu200705 "Hazel" wrote: Hi All We have a worksheet that lists Customer invoices the breakdown is from Column A to Column M and rows 1-500 and every month we send an invoice to each customer.
