Default Conditional formatting to test blank text cell

Thanks so much! Works well.

Select B17:B56

then with B17 as the active cell use

=C170

or if B needs to be blank

=AND(B17="",C170)

since you are using relative cell references they formatting will carry over
to the other cells that are selected and
change to

=C180
=C190

and so on

I am trying to satisfy 2 criteria in order to change the color of a cell:
I hilighted cells b27:b56) and then went to conditional formatting and
entered this formula. I want the b column to turn blue if the adjacent
cell
in the C column is greater than zero. I am spinning my wheels on this.
Thanks in advance for your help. You folks always come through for me!

=and(c17:c560,isblank(b17:b56))
