    Conditional Formatting - If Cell A1=x format row 1

    I feel like this is incredibly easy and yet I haven't figured it out!
    I have a formula in column J that will give the result true/false. If the formula in J15 results as True I would like to highlight that row red, if it results in false I would like to have no change to the current formatting. Can anyone help me?! Again I feel like this should be so EASY, but I just can't figure it out.

    Thanks!

    Not sure where your rows start that you want to format, but try...

    Conditional Formatting
    • Highlight applicable range >> A15:J100
    • 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: =$J15=TRUE
    • Format… [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
    • OK >> OK

    First, highlight the row.
    Next, select Conditional Formatting, New Rule, Use a formula to determine which cells to format.
    Under "Format values where this formula is true, enter:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Under Format, set the fill to red.
