Conditionally Format a Row

[ml13]

I have an Excel (2000), conditional formatting question:

I have a cell equal to "8." I also have a list of values in tabular format similar to this:

7 Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4
8 Item 5 Item 6 Item 7 Item 8
9 Item 9 Item 10 Item 11 Item 12

I want to conditionally format the entire row if the leading cell in that row matches my value. I do have ASAP Utilities Add-on, too, but I don't know how to use it too well.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Select the Cell in Column A, select FORMAT --> CONDITIONAL FORMATTING change Cell Value is to Formula is, enter your condition e.g. $A1 = 8, $A1=A$1.

Use the format painter to format the entire row, then use the format painter to copy the row format to all relevant rows.

Hello

Sorry, made a mistake $A1=A$1 should be $A1=A1

onlyadrafter, I guess I am a bit confused still.

Say my cell (E14) is "8." My other cells are

(A) (B) (C) (D) (E)
(47) 7 Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4
(48) 8 Item 5 Item 6 Item 7 Item 8
(49) 9 Item 9 Item 10 Item 11 Item 12

I can conditionally format (A48) with no problem. How do I make B48:E48 the same format based on the same condition (when A48=E14)?
Also, where do I find format painter?
Thanks.

Hello,

In B47 enter this as you conditional format

FORMULA IS =MID(B47,FIND(" ",B47)+1,LEN(B47)))=$E$14

The format painter is in the STANDARD TOOLBAR and looks like a Paintbrush.

Has this cleared this up?

Hello,

ALternatively if you cells are always Item # then the CONDITIONAL FORMAT can be

=B47="Item " &$E$14

format the other cells the same with the format painter.
