hi,
I was kinda surprised I couldn't find a solution when I Googled this...
Let's say I have columns A through M. In Column C, I have various string values (let's say animals). Now, I want to highlight only those columns A through M when the value in column C is "Dog". I know I can do a For Each - EntireRow.Interior.Color thing, but I always think that looks scrappy when all the columns are highlighted even when they contain no data. For the record, columns A through M is static and will never change (ie There will never be a column N)

I appreciate the help!
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Select your data, for instance A2:M100, on the home tab, Conditional Format, New Rule, Use a Formula
=$C2="Dog"
Select the format you want, Ok

thank you. Sorry, I should have added, I'd like to do this with VBA. Kinda involved, but the data I'm using comes from an outside source and ends up in multiple worksheets...

Ok, how about
Code:
Sub Babio()
   Dim UsdRws As Long
   With ActiveSheet
      UsdRws = .Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
      .Range("A1:M" & UsdRws).AutoFilter 3, "Dog"
      .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).Resize(UsdRws - 1).Interior.Color = 45678
      .AutoFilterMode = False
   End With
End Sub
