Hi Jeff,

Select Columns B:J if this is for all rows, or
Select B9:J9 if this is only for row 9

Formula1: =$J91 format, patterns, blue

Thank you. That worked flawlessly. I wish you could see this spread from a
first timer. It's bad a$$.

You're welcome, though covered on my condfmt.htm the
directions could have be a little more clear, Should have included
that the formula is based on the address of the active cell. So
for what I supplied, you would have to at least be on Row 9 to use
that formula because if refers to cell $J9
