    Formula for conditional rule to make row change colour over multiple sheets

    Hi,

    I want to change the colour of rows depending on the letter that is in a column. I want it to do it over all the sheets of the document. In the G column there will be letters like 'W' and 'L' that signify something and I want to make it clear by changing the row colour fill. I've tried a few formulas I found by googling but they didn't work. I should point out that the letters are connected, so if I put a 'W' on the second sheet it appears on the first sheet as well. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    Re: Formula for conditional rule to make row change colour over multiple sheets

    you can link cells

    so sheet1 A1 can link to sheet2 A1

    in sheet2 A1 put

    =Sheet1!A1

    for conditional formatting

    use a $ sign to keep the column

    so

    in a formula you can put

    =$G1="W"

    and apply to A:Z
    and the row will change colour

    or if you wanted W or L to have the colour

    =AND( $G1="W", $G1="L")
