How to apply conditional formatting to an entire row, not just a cell, in Excel

Mastering conditional formatting in Excel is a great way to improve your table creation efficiency. For example, you can use it to create an Excel family budget book that colors the entire row if the date is the same as today’s date.

In this article, I will show you how to apply conditional formatting to an entire row instead of a single cell.

Operation Procedure

1. Select the entire target range.
   
2. In the “Home” tab, under “Conditional Formatting”, select “Cell Highlighting Rules” – “Other Rules”.
   
3. As shown in the figure, select “Use formula to determine cells to format” as the condition, and enter “=$B3=”Yes”” as the formula.
   In the “Format” field, set the format to be used when the condition is met for the entire row.
   In this case, the value “B3” is the location in the selected range where you want the condition to branch.
   

   =$B3="可"

4. When I clicked the “OK” button, all the lines marked as “acceptable” were formatted as expected.
