I would like to apply conditional formatting for my spreadsheet with the
following:

Condition 1: If Column C Font is Bold then bold entire row and interior
shade entire row gray.

Condition 2: If Column B is Blank then shade entire row light yellow and
format entire row font italic.

Can't seem to figure out the formula for this. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
 
You havent mentioned the conditions for formatting these two columns..
 
Oops..

--Conditional formatting could be done only based on cell values and not
based on cell formatting...


--To apply formatting to the entire row based on ColB blank values

1. Select the rows to be formatted. Please note that the row reference 1
mentioned in the formula is the active row in the selection. Active cell will
have a white background even after selection
2. From menu Format>Conditional Formatting>
3. For Condition1>Select 'Formula Is' and enter the below formula
=$B1=""

4. Click Format Button>Pattern and select your formatting
5. Hit OK

PS: If you are using XL2007 Goto Home tab>Styles>Conditional
Formatting>Manage rules>New rule>Use a formula to determine which cells to
format. Enter the formula in the box below.
 
Hello Jacob,
Thanks for your reply. I really do need both conditions for my report. If
conditional formatting won't work, is there an alternative?
