Conditional formatting a row of cells based on input in one cell

[Jayzon]

Hi
I have a row of cells B2 to O2, i would like to use conditional formatting to color this row based on the input "X" in cell G2. Is this possible ?

Thank you in advance
Jayzon

What version of Excel are you using?
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

How about

=$G2="X"

Thank you very much
This worked perfectly, is there a way to easy extend this rule to other rows G3-G4 and so on without manually adding the formatting to each row ?

Yes, just apply the rule to B2:O10 or whatever the last row is.

Also please don't forget to update you profile.

Maybe it is because i am pretty novice at this, but when i extended this rule cover all rows fromB2 to P100 the formatting seems random and not based on the value in G2 ?

As long as you use the formula I suggested it should work.

I think the issue is that only row 2 should be formatted of H2 (I changed this to H), and row 3 should be formatted of H3 and so on

Ok, fiddling around a bit and now it works perfectly, thank you very much.

I changed a few things in the sheet also, working format is in screenshot.
