Conditional formating

[Esrei]

I want to change the background of a whole line in a
worksheet every where where the value of a cell in that
line is X. =indirect("rc",0)= "x" only changes the
background in the cell not the whole line

 

[Bob Phillips]

Don't know why you are using indirect, but select the whole row and use a
formula of

=$A1="x"

oe whatever cell it is

Click on say Row5's header, then format, C/F; formulaIs

=IF(COUNTIF($A5:$G5,"X")>0,TRUE,FALSE)
pick color, Ok Out

Click again on Row5's Header, then with Format Painter
Select row6's row header and Drag down to say Row Header 50.
Change #'s according to need.
