Is there a way to format the fill color of rows based on the information in Column A? for example: I have a list of people in column A (lets say A1, A2, and A6) and dates I emailed them in column...

=AND($A2="",$B2="")Is this the rule for conditional formatting you are looking for?
In the attached example conditional formatting is applied to range:
=$A$2:$B$24
The gray cells change to white color as soon as data is entered.
- MCalhoun111Feb 21, 2022Copper ContributorHmmm... in the PDF you attached, it shows only the blank cells filled, not them switching back and forth.
In my spreadsheet, I have data through column K. I would like the colors to switch from gray to white (or white to gray) whenever new data is entered into column A and have it apply to the entire row. Does that make sense?- OliverScheurichFeb 21, 2022Gold Contributor
Unfortunately i am not sure what is meant by switching back and forth. Maybe you want conditional formatting as in the attached file? If data is entered in A2 the row from column A to K is formatted white and gray in alternating order with this rule:
=$A2<>""Formatting is applied to range:
=$A$2:$A$25;$C$2:$C$25;$E$2:$E$25;$G$2:$G$25;$I$2:$I$25;$K$2:$K$25
