    Conditional Formating

    Hello,

    I am trying to format a whole table.
    I have a column titled status with either 0 and than green, ! and then yellow or X and the red.
    Now I want the Conditonal Formating not only applied to just the Singel column but the whole line, depending on the Statuscolumn.

    Status A B C
    If here is 0 then this should be GREEN
    If here is ! then this sould be YELLOW
    If here is X Then this should be RED

    Just use the 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format' option

    Specify the CF in the status column, e.g. =$A2=0 and apply this to the whole of the table. I'm assuming your table is actually columns A:D and that status is in column A

    Assuming the status column is column 1 and your data starts in column 1, row 2, select cells A2 down to the end of your data/table. Select Conditional Formatting, choose use formula and type in the box:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    for the first condition and format as Green. Repeat for the other conditions with
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and

    Depending on your regional settings, you may have to replace the comma (,) with a semi-colon (

    Re: Conditional Formating

    What if you're trying to cross from another sheet/tab ? How would that formula work then?
