I'm having an issue doing this with conditional formatting. Column A has a list of names. When those names change, i want it to underline the row from A to BJ. I highlighted the entire range and did =A4<>A5 (conditional formatting). This did not work though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this need to be a macro?

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Did you select the entire range from A4 to BJ?? before entering the CF formula?

If yes, the formula should be:

=$A4<>$A5

If you want the whole row (From A to BJ) to highlight, then you need to lock the column references in the formula

=$A4<>$A5
