I have a spreadsheet that has dates in row 1 and data in the rows below it. I want to highlight the entire column that has a date that is today, or within the last 7 days.
I've been searching and I keep finding examples of how to highlight a row, but not a column.
Please try selecting all cells and: Format - Conditional formatting..., Custom formula is and:
=and(A$1>today()-7,A$1<today()+1)
with highlighting of your choice. Done.
In this case the row is anchored, I agree more usual to anchor ($) the column.

I have a Google Sheets workbook, have lot of data in it in the following way as shown in the picture:
So What I want to do is to highlight all rows in which LDCP > Current (Displayed in green), that is fine when I use conditional formatting and add a formula. But since there are 1000s of such rows, what I want to do is to select all and apply that formula however when I do that it highlights the rows with text such as Leasing Companies and Leather & Tanneries.
Is there a way that I can select the whole sheet and apply a formula which only is applicable where the B column (LDCP) and F Column (Current) consists of numbers. This way only those rows will be highlighted and not the other ones.
Any other kind of advice to do this would be appreciated as well.

Try this in your conditional formatting custom formula:
=and($B1>$F1,isnumber($B1))
Range A1:Fnnn where nnn is the end of your sheet.
I am using below formula that is working fine on same sheet to highlight the row where found "Terminated".
=$E3="Terminate"
I want to highlight the same row on other sheets as well where found "Terminate" on "Leave Data" sheet range E3.
Each sheet has same Employees name on Col B. May that would made it easy to highlight the same row on other sheets
Can someone please share a solution to this question.
Conditional formatting does not support direct sheet references, but you can "trick" it by using INDIRECT and CELL:
So in cell A1 of Sheet3, create a conditional formatting rule valid for the whole range A1:A100 and insert this formula:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&CELL("address", E1))="Terminate"
INDIRECT
CELL
Explanation
Between INDIRECT and CELL, it creates an "indirect" reference to the value of the target cell which conditional formatting can understand.
You can also make it fill the whole row by adding a $ to the E as in this formula:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!"&CELL("address", $E1))="Terminate"
I would like to highlight every row where the numbers in Columns F and G match. This works perfectly, with text (a-z), as answered in this thread:
Google Sheets Conditional Formatting based on two cells
But, I am not sure how to make it work when it's a number. Any advice appreciated!
Apply custom-formula conditional formatting of =$F1=$G1 to the whole range you wish to affect.
Change the 1's to the row number that is the first row in your selected range. E.g. If applying to A5:H, the formula would be =$F5=$G5.
The answer in this question Highlighting Duplicate Rows in Google Sheets works perfectly to highlight the duplicate cells in a column. What I'm wanting to do is one step futher and highlight the rows that each of those duplicated cells are in.
So if I've got duplicated cells in column c that are highlighted, how do I also highlight the rows?
Thanks!
Here's the current formatting I have to highlight duplicates in Column C.
Current conditional formatting equation
Change Apply to range to A1:Z (change Z to last column you want to highlight). And change the Custom formula to =countif($C:C,$C1)>1. You need to use the absolute reference ($).
On my google sheet for its form, I have the answers in Row 2.
There are 109 columns in which I need to check if the descending rows of each column match the contents of Row 2 of that column. On top of that, I have to have conditional formatting for the cells that DO NOT match the contents of Row 2 in their respective column.
Is there a way that I don't have to add a formula to each any every column?
You can do this with conditional formatting - for the "apply to range" section (pretending your data starts in column A and ends in D, although in reality you will put whatever the last column is) enter in
A2:D
then for the rule, choose custom formula and enter in this exact formula:
=if(eq(indirect(address(row(),COLUMN(),4)),indirect(ADDRESS(2,column(),2)))=TRUE,FALSE,TRUE)
This will dynamically highlight all of the answers that do not match the value in row 2
