Currently, Excel Conditional formatting permits the user to format one cell
based upon the value in that cell.

I would like to see this improved upon - the ability to format multiple
cells depending upon the value of a single cell - eg a whole row or column
could be hi-lited a color depending upon the value in one of the cells in
that row or column.
