Hi all.
I have me a spreadsheet with 4 columns. Artist, Winamp, iPod, Status. What this spreadsheet is for is to allow me to check my Winamp library v my iPod to see if the iPod has the correct number of songs. It also helps me to see if I have any duplicate files pushing the total number of songs up.
So what I want to do is to apply conditional formatting to a whole row based on the Status cell. If the number I have for an artist is not equal to that same artist on my iPod the Status cell returns, "Error" in bold with a red background.
What I would like to do is to have the whole row for that artist go red with bold writing if the Status cell returns "Error". Obviously I know how to make the Status cell for each row go red, but how to extend that formatting to the rest of the row? As far as I can see I can only make a cell format itself conditionally based on itself, I cannot work out how to make other cells format themselves conditionally based on other cells.
Any help or tips greatly received.
