Conditional Formatting a whole line based on cell value
 

Cheers for the reply.

would I not have to do this though to each column?

Best to do that with event code, trigger the code when the target column
changes

As an example


'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H:H" '<=== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Entirerow.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Entirerow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Case 3: .Entirerow.Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 4: .Entirerow.Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Okay, I have a spreadsheet with over 1000 lines of data in all at
different
status' of progress.

What I would like to do it to highlight the whole line a certain colour
depending on the status value.

I currently have the max 3 conditional formats doing this but I need to
expand them and there are over 10 different status'.

My spreadsheet runs from A to L (with the status being I). Is there any
way
the formatting could loop to check the whole spreadsheet?

Thanks in advanced for your help.
