Hello everybody,

I am currently managing a worksheet containing a stock overview, which looks like this:

I have made two conditional formatting rules which assert under my "Antal" (meaning Quantity) column that if the number is below or equal to 0 the color should be red and if the color is above 0 it should be a neon green.

However, I would like to extend this to make it even more obvious when something is above 0 by highlighting the entire row, so it would look like this essentially:

Is there any way in which I can do this through some sort of coding or conditional formatting perhaps? So whenever a quantity is above 0, the entire row gets highlighted in my neon green color.

If anybody can help me with this issue I would greatly appreaciate it! Thank you so much :)

Best regards,
David

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
is your data in columns A-E, with headers in row 1 ?

Good morning David
IF you go to conditional formatting, and new rule
then select use a formula to determine which cells to format:

Under the heading "Format values where this formula is true", type the following formula:

=if($e41>0,1,0)

Then click on the "Format" button and choose your colour.

then go to the conditional formatting rules manager and change "Applies to" to "$a$41:$e$136

Instead of using 'cell contains' rules use 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format.

1 Select the entire range to be formatted, e.g. A41:E136.

2 Goto Conditional Formatting>Clear Rules>Clear Rules from Selected Cells

3 Goto Conditional Formatting>Manage Rules...

4 Goto New Rule...

5 Select Use a formula...

6 Enter this formula.

=$E41<>""

7 Apply the green formatting.

8 Repeat steps 4-7, changing the formula to $E41="" and applying the red formatting.
