Press F5.. go to ïƒ*select formulasïƒ*select okïƒ* cells with the formulas are
selected now changes all these selected cell colors (for example make the
yellow).

Next put a conditional formatting for formulas:

For conditional formatting pattern color select white.

If there is a formula in a cell would be white. If there is no formula it
will turn yellow.

Hope it helps.

What I have is have a spreadsheet with multiple cell containing data. Some
of the data is retreived by a formual and some is due to a manual input of
numbers. I would like to have a conditional format that would shade the cell
if someone writes over the formula with a value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
