    Making all rows green when a non specific date is entered

    Hi,

    I have a column on my sheet - column 'K' as 'Delivered date'. I want the entire row relating to this to turn green when any date is entered into column 'K'.

    This is a live ongoing sheet so the rule would only be applicable to when data is inputted into 'column K'. As its a sheet that gets updated throughout the year at different times and days, I can't set it to specific dates.

    Wondered if anyone knows the formula for this?

    Thanks

    Re: Making all rows green when a non specific date is entered

    so the cell is blank , and then a date entered and thats when it turns green

    for 2007, 2010 , 2013 , 2016 , 2019 or 365 Subscription excel version
    Conditional Formatting

    Highlight applicable range >>
    A2:Z10000 - Change, reduce or extend the rows to meet your data range of rows

    Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
    New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
    Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:
    =$K2 <> ""

    Format [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
    choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
    OK >> OK

    otherwise
    sample sheet would help here, and possibly will enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.


    The forum does allow for spreadsheets to be uploaded direct to the forum -

    Please see the Yellow Banner at the top of the page explaining how to attach a sample spreadsheet

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Here are the instructions, found at the top of the page again
    Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
