Default Shading a row red as soon as a cell entry in column L says "Error"

Dear Experts:

I got a table that ranges from A1:Z3000. It has a named range
"DataList".
I would like those rows that have the expression 'Error' in Column 'K'
to acquire red shading.

How can this be achieved using a macro and / or conditional
formatting?

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas

Select cells A1:Z3000
Select format | Conditional Formatting...
Select Formula is =$K1 = "Error"
Set your red format.
Ok

Select A1:Z30000
Using conditional formatting with rule: =$K1="Error"
Note the use of the $
Had your selection started with A21 then you would use =$K21="Error"
