Hi... please someone help!!

I have set A1 with a drop down of four text choices and a conditional format to change the color based on which ever text is chosen. Now, when a certain drop down text is chosen and the color changes I need the entire row to also change to that color.

So, basically... I can't figure out the formula or conditional format to change the entire row based on that one cell drop down. I do need, however, the text in the rest of the row to remain as is and editable.

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
