Default Conditional Formatting Issue

I use the following formulas which are conditionally formatted in column J:

=IF(D1679="","",D1679/E1679)
=IF(D1680="","",D1680/E1680)
=IF(D1681="","",D1681/E1681)
=IF(D1682="","",D1682/E1682)
=IF(D1683="","",D1683/E1683)
=IF(D1684="","",D1684/E1684)
€¦

If the cell D1681 is blank, for example, the formatting on the blank cell
fills with the color green in J1681 blank cell, and then through the end of
the worksheet row J2500.

These blank green cells are distracting, if the cell is blank I would prefer
the green fill from the conditional formatting does not appear, I would like
a blank cell. I would like the conditional formatting to apply to cells that
contain values only.

Do you know of a way to mask this green formatting from appearing if the
cell value is blank?

I am currently using Excel 2007, the original worksheet was Excel 97-2003
which I €śsaved as€ť in the Excel Worksheet format.

I have literally searched for hours trying to resolve this issue, and the
€śstop if true€ť flag does not work. I have also read a significant amount of
help on conditional formatting to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
