How do I highlight a row when a checkbox is checked in Google Sheets? - Excel Tips and Tricks

Learn how to highlight a row when a checkbox is checked in Google Sheets.

In Google Sheets, you can enhance your data visualization and organization by employing various techniques related to checkboxes and conditional formatting. To highlight a row when a checkbox is checked, use conditional formatting by selecting the desired row, navigating to "Format" in the toolbar, choosing "Conditional formatting," and setting up a custom formula like "=B2=TRUE" for checkbox cell B2. Similarly, changing the color of a row when a checkbox is checked involves the same process with a custom formula. To customize a checkbox, right-click on it and choose "Format control" to modify its appearance. If you wish to hide a row when a checkbox is checked, use Google Sheets scripting or create a filter that hides rows based on checkbox status. These techniques offer versatile ways to tailor your spreadsheet to specific needs, making data management more efficient and visually intuitive.

I need it to highlight when ALL the checkboxes in a row are checked. Can't figure out how to "upscale" your formula for multiple checkboxes in a row.

If you can figure it out how to do it without a chechkbox, that would be nice
