Select the entire row by clicking on row header.

Assuming F1 is empty..............................

FormatConditional FormattingFormula is:

=$F1<""

Format to red pattern and OK.

When you enter data in F1, the row will turn red.

Note the $ sign in =$F1

That is so you can copy the CF down many rows.

Hi,

The answer is conditional formatting but the question isn't clear. Try this

Select row 1 and then format|Conditional format
Formula is
enter the formula
=$A1<""
Pick a colour
Ok

When data are entered into a1 the entire row will change colour.

Assuming your key cell is in column A, and your data begins in row 2, Select
your entire range (rows and columns) from cell A2 through M1000 (or
whatever), go to Conditional formatting, change the pull down box to Formula
is, and if it is just 'any' type of entry, type the following formula into
the box:
=$A2<""
Then click on the format button and choose your formatting.

Hi,

Let assume you want to color the range A:F whenever the rows A cell has data

Suppose you are starting with A1. Select the entire range, A1:F1000 for
example and choose Format, Conditional Formatting, pick Formula is from the
first drop down and enter the formula

=$A1

Click Format and pick a color on the Patterns tab
