    Conditional formatting of adjacent cells

    Hi all. Sorry if this is a basic question but my mind has gone blank!

    I have a table. It doesn't matter how many rows or columns. I want to enter a value of "Y" in cell A1, and when I do, I want the rest of the cells in that row of the table, including A1, to conditionally format to a green fill.

    Can anyone help? I know that this is a basic format but, honestly, it is driving me insane!

    Thanks.

    Bill, Sorry for off-topic interjection:

    Although there is no official rule regarding this behavior, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

    I'm sure you understand, and we look forward to seeing you post your formulas/macros in your posts for the searching benefit of all.

    Thanks again for all your hard work here!
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards

    I don't agree with FDibbins. This was a very basic request and the workbook is just for reference purposes. Have a nice day!
