Copy Conditional formatting for each row

Hi, I have set up a drop down menu with several status and each status gives a different color for the row. 

Colum B, I have a status selection

The rows I want to change colour for each status

 

=$B$2="Sample Received"

=$A$2:$F$2

 

=$B$2="Sample Sent"

=$A$2:$D$2

 

=$B$2="Result sent"

=$A$2:$I$2

 

I want the same for Row 3 but not sure how to duplicat it

    I understand that you want to

    - highlight range A2:F2 if "sample received" is in cell B2

    - highlight range A3:F3 if "sample received" is in cell B3

    and so on.

     

    In the attached file i inserted dropdowns in range B2:B201 with the values from range J1:J3. This might be what you want to do. The formulas i suggested in my last post work accordingly for range B2:B3. Unfortunately from your initial question i didn't understand that there are actually 200 rows in your file.

      Hi thanks for reading and your reply. This take the colour to the next level, I have probably not made my instructions clear.

      I am looking to make the next line work by using

      =$B$3="Sample Received"

      =$A$3:$F$3



      =$B$3="Sample Sent"

      =$A$3:$D$3



      =$B$3="Result sent"

      =$A$3:$I$3

      The problem I need to fo to row 200 and did not want a load to wright out fr each line
