    trying to conditional format text based cells

    Hopefully an easy one, in short I have 75 rows and 20 columns which are sort of being used as a checklist.

    If any of the 20 columns have any value typed into any cell within a single row, I want the entire row to be highlighted green. whenever I am trying I either just get the singular cell highlighted or if I make a 21st column to countif them, I can highlight that one of course.

    Thank you!

    Hi SineNomine,

    Assuming your data you want to highlight starts in A1, highlight the range (75 rows/20 columns) use conditional formatting > new rule > use formula to determine which cells to format.
    In the formula field try: =COUNTA($A1:$T1)>0
