    Please explain where in the attachment you perceive there to be a problem. What does "If I copy the same rule but change for example to name to highlight nothing happens?" actually mean?

    Re: How to highlight row in excel (more than 1)

    you need to change the formula to
    =$M8="Closed"

    NOT
    ="$M9=""Closed"""

    As the row is incorrect for the range
    it needs to have the same row number - ie 8
    also the "" happens sometimes - so watch the formula

    BUT also in your M column some of the closed have a space at the end

    so
    "closed "
    rather than
    closed

    hence why the formula would not work
