conditional formatting

[gailb14]

I have a row with 3 cells.
The last cell will contain a date.
When that cell is filled in, I want all three cells to turn green.

I can do the formatting for the last cell but do not know how to do it
for the first two.'

Help

One method........

Select A1, A2 and A3

Format>CF>Formula is: =ISNUMBER($A$3) Note the $ signs to lock A3

Format to a green pattern and OK.

No date in A3.......no green color on any cell.

I either don't understand or I am not doing it right.

Under conditional formatting there is
Cell Value Is (condition) then cells.

in the cells part I put the formula but it did not work.

you wrote:

but there is another choice if you click to the right of that littl
window. Choose the "Formula is" one and try again....
