I need code to check if a cell in column F contains certain text. I then need to apply colour formatting to the entire row. Can someone help me please?

Maybe I have accidentally changed something. Could you look at the cmdSend code to see if I have mistakenly added something. It is the code that is run that copies the row across to tblCosting. tblCosting is the table that has the extra column that is all the same colour.

Sorry about that, i forgot to include the code

Code:
Sub cmdSend()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Dim desWS As Worksheet, srcWS As Worksheet
        Set srcWS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NPSS_quote_sheet")
        Set desWS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Costing_tool")
    Dim lastRow1 As Long, lastRow2 As Long
    Dim i As Long, x As Long, header As Range
        lastRow1 = srcWS.Range("B" & srcWS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        lastRow2 = desWS.Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    With srcWS.Range("A:A,B:B,H:H")
        If lastRow2 < 5 Then
            lastRow2 = 5
            For i = 1 To .Areas.Count
                x = .Areas(i).Column
                Set header = desWS.Rows(4).Find(.Areas(i).Cells(10), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
                If Not header Is Nothing Then
                    srcWS.Range(srcWS.Cells(11, x), srcWS.Cells(lastRow1, x)).Copy
                    desWS.Cells(lastRow2, header.Column).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                End If
            Next i
            With desWS
                If .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row > 5 Then
                    desWS.ListObjects.Item("tblCosting").ListRows.Add
                End If
                .Range("D" & lastRow2 & ":D" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("G7")

                .Range("G" & lastRow2 & ":G" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("B6")
            End With
        Else

            Set rng = desWS.Cells(i, 1)
            If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(rng) = 1 Then
