Default Conditional formatting to test blank text cell

You cannot test a range for 0 or ISBLANK.

Must be done one cell at a time.

Select B17:B56 then enter this formula in CFFormula is:

=AND($C170,ISBLANK($B17))

Note the $ signs to lock the column but not the row.

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))
