Hello, when I set up conditional formatting on a sheet it applies to the entire sheet. I would like to set a different criteria for each row and when the conditions are met, I would like that row to turn red. How can this be achieved?
Hi Theresa,
When you set up the conditional formatting rule you set conditions and depending on your set up it's possible to have them affect just one row.
What do you want the rule to do more specifically?
I hope this helps you!

I am not sure how to do that but I will find out.
Thanks Luke.

The Reorder column can be hidden, but it would contain a formula of:
=IF(Inventory@row < Threshold@row, 1, 0)
Then you can create conditional formatting where if Reorder is Checked, turn the font RED for the entire row:
Is it possible to prevent the deletion of rows in a sheet? Specifically, in cases where a user legitimately requires editor permission to the underlying sheet and where the row cannot be locked (as continued editting of the row is required.)
