I have using conditional formatting over a range of cells using the following formula to turn the cell red:

=IF($CA$5=R$1,ISBLANK(R11))

However this just makes each relevant cell red whereas I woud like to turn that entire row red.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks for your time!

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Highlight the entire row and then use excel's built-in conditional formatting, its fairly straight forward

This is currently the conditional formula for the entire range of cells but it only highlights the blank cell...

Add a first condition for all cells in column R that if S1 = 1, turn the cell red. There could be a second condition to turn the cell red if the cell is blank. Then you'd write a formula in cell S1 to decide what condition should the value be 1 to turn the entire column R red.

So you want to highlight a row, if the value in Column R matches the value in CA5 and only if R11 is blank, correct?

In that case, this should achieve the desired result:
=IF($R1=$CA$5,ISBLANK($R$11))
