To add to what Flyster said, edit the rule to make sure it applies to the whole range. You may have to tweak the formula after that. Excel is rather nasty when you change the range of a conditional formatting rule!

I have an excel tutorial that I am trying to follow through a series of tasks. &nbsp;One of the tasks is on the use of conditional highlighting and says to &quot;apply a yellow fill with dark yellow text to all outstanding checks where yes appears in the outstanding column&quot;. &nbsp; I assume they mean to highlight the whole row that way. &nbsp;Here is a screenshot <a href="http://screencast.com/t/Tk9sKOvrYkPh" rel="ugc">http://screencast.com/t/Tk9sKOvrYkPh</a><br />

Assistance is greatly appreciated.

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.
