Data Validation Error checking in excel and how to highlight them further to flag the full row





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I want to be able to conditionally format a full row that contains the flagged box.



Within excel 2016 I have setup columns with data validation arguments. Whenever an error is detected the cell is flagged automatically with a colored (typically green) left-hand corner. To go through them you use Formulas>Error Checking and it will go one by one through the errors for correction. I have thought about making an additional column with an iferror but the iferror function doesn't detect this type of error. If it did I would highlight full row based on the TRUE/FALSE return of that iferror.



The goal is to highlight a full row containing the validation error so I can isolate that invalid rows for review by a human.
