Apply Conditional Formatting to an Entire Row - Excel Tutorial

Apply Conditional Formatting to an entire row of a table in Excel so that no matter how large the table, you can see that the record meets the criteria.

Typically Conditional Formatting is applied to a single cell. When handling large tables of data, highlighting an entire row can be advantageous. By doing this the Conditional Formatting is always visible.

To format an entire row you will need to write a simple formula for the Conditional Formatting rule. This is so that we can specify the column we are testing. This video tutorial shows you step by step.

In my case, I was using the formula A2<>A3( to highlight the first cell where numbers repeat in a column) . Using this method was highlighting more than just the required rows. Solution: filter one column by colour and highlight the other columns after selecting visible cells only
