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?

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!

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:

Hi Everyone, My IT has a lot of confusion on what we access we really need to have for certain people. What is the difference between a "Member" and a "Licensed User?" We have a lot of sheets that have owners who do all of the changes of the sheet. I know that they need to be licensed users. But then, we have a lot of…
