Highlight series of cells if 1st or last row contains text

[richzip505]

Hello, I have a worksheet that contains a few rows for each employee.  The ID # is in column A, and column E will contain a calculated numeric value.   For each employee, I would like to highlight all rows of Column A, if any rows in column E for that employee are > 0.  Note that the number of rows for each employee may vary.

I'm fine doing this with either conditional formatting or a formula.

So, in the attached:  

# 111 has a value of 1 in the first row, so I would like to highlight all rows in column A for that person

# 666 has a value of 2 in the last row, so I would also like to highlight all rows for that person

IDs 222,444, and 555 have 0 in all rows, so nothing is highlighted for them

[#2]

IDs 222,444, and 555 don't have 0 in all rows, so nothing is highlighted for them


don't?
or
do?

@richzip505 You may use the following formula-

=IF(SUM(FILTER($E$2:$E$32,$A$2:$A$32=A2))>0,TRUE,FALSE)

Actually you don't need IF(). Just could try-

=SUM(FILTER($E$2:$E$32,$A$2:$A$32=A2))>0
