Hi,
I am trying to write a condition if one cell meets the condition (Example H5
= OPEN) then turn cells H1 through O1 to red (Color fill)
If H5 = Closed then turn Cells H1 through O1 to Green
Is this something I can do in Excel?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Format>Conditional Formatting under this you can define a formula referring
to the cell H5="open" and define the conditional formats. You can specify
upto 3 different conditions and you can also specify them within a formula,
such as an if function

I understand how to format one cell, I'm just not sure how to format
multilple cells within one row based on whats in that one cell.
What I want to see is if h5="open" the color fill h1 through o1 with RED...

Yes, through Conditional Formatting.
Select H1:O1 and Format>Conditional Formatting>Condition 1>Formula is:
=$H$5="OPEN" Format to Red Pattern
Hit "Add" button to set Condition 2
Condition 2>Formula is:
=$H$5="Closed" Format to Green Pattern
