Excel - Conditional Formatting on a range IF another cell =

Hi

I want to apply conditional formatting to a range of cells IF one cell = a value.

 

Example:  =IF A1:A500 = "S"   then I wish to shade the cells of that row, A1:L500

 

I used to be able to in the old Excel!  :'(

    shouldn't the A1:L500 read A1:A500?

     

    pls see image:

      No, because I wish the result to look like this ….
