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 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:

We would like to allow conference attendees to check themselves in using tablets at the conference center. I know there is a "find in sheet" magnifying glass in table view, but it is not super obvious, especially for non-Smartsheet users. Is there a better way for them to easily find their row among all the attendees so…
