Hello,

I've tried so many variations and cant get it right. All I want is an entire row (A:H) to be highlighted yellow if there is ANYthing entered in column H. I've tried conditional formatting and cant get the entire row yellow (it turns A:G yellow, but not H) or it does the opposite and only column H turns yellow and not the whole row, or it only highlights the whole row if there is nothing in column H!!

This is what I've tried:

cell value is: equal to: =$H1="1" (this only highlights column H and not whole row)

Please help, thank you.


Edit: Finally got it right:

Formula is: =not(isblank($H2))
