fill all cells in row with one cell entry

[jv4_2+1]

I have a range of cells and in that range If I enter any type of text/number
I want the rest of the row that cell belongs to, to be blacked out or marked
somehow to show that, that row has an entry in it already. Is this possible.
Please help. thank you.

Assume range is A15

Select A15 (with A1 active)
Click Format > Conditional Formatting

Under Condition 1, make the setting as:
Formula is:
=SUMPRODUCT(--MATCH(TRUE,$A1:$D1<>"",0))<>COLUMN(A1)
Click "Format" > Patterns tab > Black > OK
Click OK at the main dialog

Test it out ..

Would you like to check out conditional formatting. Wonder if this is what you need.
