Conditional formatting

[howard]

I have various text in Col A and values in Col B:N


where text "Benchmark" appears in Col A for Example "Benchmark GP per Unit" , "Total GP per Benchmark" etc, I want the Columns from A:N highlighted in Blue in the same row where the text benchmark appears


I have tried to set this up but cannot get it to work



It would be appreciated if someone could assist me

Try this CF formula.

=$A1="Benchmark"

Applied to eg:

=$A$1:$N$1000

Hi,

This can be cone using Conditional formatting. With formula :

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Benchmark", $A1)) applied to "=$A:$F"

Sorry didnt read. Try this formula:

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Benchmark",$A1))

Hi,

Will this do the trick ?

Sub Macro1()

lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For Each c In Range("A1:A" & lr)

If c.Value Like "*Benchmark*" Then

Range("A" & c.Row & ":F" & c.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 8

End If

Next c

End Sub

That isnt conditional formatting. If you was to use a macro you need to remove all formatting first or you will potentially leave a incorrect result.

Huh ? I Don't remember posting a macro

Thanks for the help. I used =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Benchmark",$A1)) applied to $A:$G and it only highlights blanks cells


Please advise as to why the actual rows containing :"benchmark" is not highlighted in the colour selected

 

[steve the fish]

That just doesnt do that. Go back and check the formula and that there isnt overriding CF on those cells.

I cleared the CF and then set up the new CF formula and it worked. I would like to know if there a way to set up the CF that it only highlights up the last cells in the row containing data

The CF must only highlight up to Col G8. once H8 contains Data, then H8 must also be highlighted in blue etc


See sample data below

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N
8	Total GP Benchmark	(2,155)	(2,155)	(2,155)	(2,155)	(2,155)	(2,155)
