Question : checkoff box that will highlight the line

Hi,

I have a spredsheet in a excel doc. in this sheet I have a lot of column's for different types of infomation. I want a function in one of the column's which action would be, that if they check it off or put in yes or x, the row will then be highlighted. I will also need this function to be genetic so that if they put in more rows it will still have the function.

this is a ASAP assignment for me, so quick response is appreciated

Answer : checkoff box that will highlight the line

you can use conditional formatting for that. Select the whole row, click conditional formatting - new rule - use a formula to determine... and enter a formula like

=$G1="yes"

then set the format and hit OK

Note the placement of the $ sign. This formula is for your "yes" value in column G and row 1 being the selected row.

If you define your data area as a table in 2007, then formats and formulas will automatically be applied to new rows.
