Hi guys. Quick question,
is there anyway to change a cell background color based on another cell background being a particular color?
I have a row with conditioning format that changes the background color based on a specific text.
I would like to add a cell at the end of each row that would change, say, green if all other cells background on that row were green.
Is this possible?

The thing is that
=countif(your range;your text)=the number of cells in your range
is not text. The condition is for that specific cell range being the color green
You said that it is text. Not me.
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary....I have a row with conditioning format that changes the background color based on a specific text.
Remember to desensitize the data.

Is it the same text condition in each column? If so, you'd use the COUNTIF approach and test if the result equals the number of columns in question. If not, you'd need something like:
=AND(A1="text1",B1="text2",C1="text3")
with a specific check for each column. You can't base it purely off the CF colour of the other columns in the row.
