I have recieved help already from this forum on separate conditional formatting question, Thanks Luke M. The new issue is color filling a range of cells contained in a row based on a different cell content. I have tried several different codes I found on line but none seem to work. I did not think i would have an issue finding a solution but I was wrong. I have a work book that has several pages with the exact same setup/format. So, for which ever worksheet is active I need to fill C9:H9 (yellow) whenever "New" appears in AE9. This needs to happen for each row up to 286. Thanks in advance for any help or direction provided.
