Hello,

I have a spreadsheet with several rows of data.

The first cell of each row contains a logical formula which equates to
'TRUE' or 'FALSE'.

I want to hide the rest of the cells in the row if the first is FALSE.

I have been trying to use conditional formatting to do this, setting the
text colour to white so that the cell contents become 'invisible'

I cannot seem to get it to work, I think I'm getting the conditional
statement wrong in the conditional formatting box, but am not sure ?

Any advice or pointers please ?

Thanks

KK

Suppose the range goes from A1 through F1, then select this range ensuring A1
is the active cell. Then enter the following formula in the CF:

=$A$1=FALSE

Now, format the font color to white. If A1 is false (first cell in the row),
then all other cells will be white.
