Default Conditional Formatting - allowing for Blank Cells

use a formula
like =if(cell<"",if(cell0,1,0),0) - red
and =if(cell<"",if(cell<=0,1,0),0) -green

I have a form that we are setting up to calculate the number of days

may have missed their due date on a project. We have if cell value is
greater than 0 it turns the cell red if we have if the cell value is less

been
entered if the cell is blank it still turns green. Any ideas to write a
condition that recognizes a null value. I already tried if cell value is
"null" - it didn't work.

Thanks,
