Default Conditional Format

I need some help and direction. If Blue77 appears in any row in Column A, I
would like to change the format of that row columns A:K to color blue and
style bold. Here is what I am doing now.

Select range A2:K2
Format
Conditional Formatting
Formula Is
=$A$2=€¯Blue77€¯
Bold
Blue
Ok

It works for that row but I am not sure how to get it for all the rows with
the exception of row 1. Do you know?

Thanks for the input. It works for the first row, but I am not able to apply
it to every row in Column A. Do you know how I could apply it to every row
in Column A?

Hi,

Select the range, say A2:K1000 and choose
Format, Conditional Formatting, Formula is, and enter the suggested formula
=$A2=€¯Blue77€¯

If this does not work, you are not telling us all the details.

The problem is that I was not highlighting A2:K1000. That is what I left
out. Thank you for helping me clear that up.
