The key is to choose a cell/row where you can set the parameters. For example: to apply CF to range B2:H20 Open a blank Worksheet Highlight B2 through H20 Start with B2 and go towards H20 Open CF Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is" In the formula type in =$A2=1 Then format by choosing a color for the cell Click Add Follow the above and choose a different color Do it again for a third row color. Close CF. Test it. By putting 1, 2, or 3 in column A the rows will change. Any formula will work as long as the results are true/false.

(I have only done this one cell at a time.) The formula would be the same in every cell of the row: If Cell A20=passed, set the font to grey in THIS cell.

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.

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 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
