Hello Kelly,

To extend the Highlight Active Row functionality outside a table, you can apply Conditional Formatting using a formula. Here’s how:

1. Select the entire range (or the rows you want to highlight).
2. Go to Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule.
3. Choose “Use a formula to determine which cells to format.”
4. Enter the formula: =ROW()=CELL(“row”)
5. Select your preferred format.
This will highlight the active row across the selected range, even outside of tables.
