color/shade cell upon input
What I suggested should work. It will leave the blank ones alone, my point
was that it would shade some that might have a formula that resolves to
blank, so they look empty, but aren't in reality.

Thanks Bob, but I do have many cells that are blank that will need to
remain
blank/non shaded.
I was hoping there was a way to shade a cell only if the user enters in a
number/text in the cell.
Thanks again,

Mark,
You could with a Not equal test against a value of "", or a formula of
=LEN(A1)=0
But ... this might slow your spreadsheet down a bit, and it will
highlight
all cells that aren't empty, even ones that look empty but have a
formula.

Greetings,
I have a rather busy worksheet that we use for entering in quantities
for
different components and products needed for a manufacturing job.
I would like to have any and all cells shaded in when the user enters
in
the
quantity into that cell. The cell would need to be shaded/color added
for
both viewing and for printing. I would like this so that the order
pickers
would be able to easily see items needed for the job.
Is this possible without using a conditional formula on each and every
cell
in the spreadsheet?
As in the past, thanks in advance for all your help.
Mark
