    Conditional formatting color change if any in row is true

    I want to change colors of a group of cells to alert me if any in Row F are true. I tried =$F4:$F64000, but that didn't work.

    Re: Conditional formatting color change if any in row is true

    Note that rows are numbered (1, 2, 3 etc.) and columns have letters to identify them, so "Row F" doesn't make sense. Which group of cells do you want to change colour? What do you mean "if any are true" - does this mean any cells contain the logical value TRUE?

    Please give a more detailed explanation, and it will also help if you attached a sample Excel workbook.

    Presumably the vehicle log file has moved on since we looked at it a few months ago - can you attach an up-to-date version?

    Re: Conditional formatting color change if any in row is true

    Let me see if I can reword this...

    I need A1:E2 to turn red when any result in Column F is TRUE.

    So when I do Conditional Formatting as a formula, what should I have for it to be TRUE if any in Column F is TRUE?

    Re: Conditional formatting color change if any in row is true

    Maybe
    =COUNTIF($F4:$F64000,TRUE)>0

    Re: Conditional formatting color change if any in row is true

    This is what I did and seems to be working:

    F1 formula is =IFERROR(F4:F64000,TRUE)

    Then I made A1:E2 Conditionally red and = F1

    Does that seem correct?

    Nope, I just tested it and it's stuck at true...
