It is testing cell A1 for no value. SO it can have a formula that evaluates
to nothing and still trigger CF.

=a1<""

Thanks

Hi,

I want to apply conditional formatting if any value will appear in
the
cell.
The cell has got a formula linked to another sheet, so if the
other
sheet
will get a value, then this is picked up in the cell, at that
point,
I'd
like
to have the cell to change color.

Thank you
Alex
