Jexample: If the value in cell J2=P, then shade the entire row in yellow.
 
1. Select row 2.
2. Go to Format > Conditional Formatting. Select "Formula
Is"
3. Insert: =$J$2="P"
4. Click the "Format" button and format as desired.

Select the entire row to color. Doesn't have to be row 2.

Format>Conditional Formatting>Formula is: =$J2="P"

Pick a color from from the Format button.

Note the $J2 must be entered as is with the $ sign.
