[AccessD] Bit OT - Excel Q on Conditional Formatting

Hi Dan
If I select the whole row and set the CondFormatting to say...AirCode
following...
   if CellValue = 'Passed' then Grey Font
 
But there is nowhere to say if Cell A20 = Passed then Grey font from Cell A1 to
a19

That's what I really want to do - apply it to the whole row based on a value in
a cell
Rather that have it apply to a cell based on the value in that cell

Darren,

Would it work to apply CF to each cell in the row?  The test for each would be
to look at the same cell.  I haven't done much CF in Excel - maybe absolute
references in the CF expression would allow you to copy once and paste into the
CF expression field for the other cells in the row.

Hi All
We have an excel spread sheet that our 'testers' use to test for bugs in
software So there are various column headers eg What Tested, TestedBy, Test1
Results etc but the final column is the one that has final say on what is done.
If it says 'closed' or 'passed' I want the whole row to be grey font, italic
font etc to visually indicate 'it is finished' with
 
In the past I have applied cond formatting to whole columns that apply cond
formatting to individual cells depending on their value but this is the other
way about. IE a cell changing the formatting for the whole row
 
Many thanks in advance
 
Darren
