formula is: =C1=""

choose the format you want
(I'd use the pattern tab and a nice color)

Hi,
excel 2003, is their a filter, or way, to have a column formatted so that if
thier i no info in the cell it is distinguishable immediately, like a color
maybe? Just give me the crumbs and I will be happy to do the research and
learn.
Thanks
Frank
