FJO, if you are using Excel 2003 or less, then I am afraid the solution I posted will not be very useful, as it requires more than 3 conditionals, which only Excel 2007+ supports.
So in that case, Don's VBA code should suit you fine. But if you are in Excel 2007 or 2010, you could use multiple conditionals for formatting (which is what I'd prefer, it also helps in reducing VBA) Regards, Sam On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 10:35 PM, dguillett1 <dguille...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sam, I’m sorry.I opened in xl2003........................duh > > Don Guillett > SalesAid Software > dguille...@gmail.com > > *From:* Sam Mathai Chacko <samde...@gmail.com> > *Sent:* Tuesday, November 15, 2011 10:51 AM > *To:* excel-macros@googlegroups.com > *Subject:* Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row > using VBA > > Yes Don.
