Conditional Formatting one row at a time

Theresa

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!

This can be done using an index. Create a autonumber column  to index your sheet and reference the autocolumn number inside of the conditional formatting.

I am keeping track of inventory. I want the row to turn red when the quantity on hand falls below a certain number. This number is unique to the item. I may need to know when I have only 5 boxes of tissue on hand but I will want to know when I have 10 pens left.

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

Thanks Luke.

Hi Theresa,

You can accomplish what you need by using fields along the lines of:

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:
