How to highlight columns + rows in one go?

RE: Format

Hi Eric

Thanks for your question.

You can highlight multiple ranges by using the Ctrl key, for example, if you click over column B to select it, then hold down the Ctrl key and click to the left of row 6 to select it, you should find that both column B and row 6 will be selected.

If you wish to select the whole spreadsheet, use Ctrl + A.

Excel tip:

Conditional formatting for cells that return text , not picked up by Go to command

If you have tried to format all cells containing text even those that display text as a result of a formula you may have had difficulty. As Go to command with constant selected does not pick up formulas that result in text.

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
