Can you try to explain this a little better? Does not really make sense no matter how many times I have read it.

I think what he wants to do is to highligt a complete row if the corresponding cell in a column for that row is not null.

Just a little VBA should do that. Although I don't know the exact syntax. I usually don't work in Excel.

Something like (but just making this up)

Function highlightrow(C as string, R as string)

Dim strC as string 'column reference
Dim strR as string 'row reference

If not isnull(c,a) then
Highlight the row
end if

Sorry, it's been a long time since I had to do this. hehe
