Coloring complete Row based on values from Columns

excel, excel-formula, vba

Solution

You can use (non-VBA) conditional formatting for this

If your Status column was in column C then - having selected all the rows in the area of interest - you can use rules such as this to format the entire row based on the column C entries

`=$C1="REJECTED"` and pick Red `=$C1="WIP"` and pick Orange etc

Change your column reference to suit

The sample below is from Excel 2010

{NB: Change your text case if necessary}

Problem

I need to color the complete Excel row based upon the value of a cell in column. I have three columns (`Item`, `Price` and `Status`) and want to color the row if the `Status` value is: - DELIVERED (to Green) - REJECTED (to Red) - WIP (to Orange).
