Default Conditional Format Using A Time Figure As The Trigger

Firstly check that you've got TM's formula correctly, and make sure that
you've used CF's "Formula Is", not "Cell Value Is".

Secondly, are you sure that B1 is really empty when you say it is? What
does =LEN(B1) say? Perhaps you've got one or more spaces in the cell?

I spoke to soon!!

The code works if there is something in B (which is what it is
supposed to do). However, if there is nothing in B, then it fires as
well (which it is NOT supposed to do).

Any ideas as to how to fix this bug?

Any help is appreciated/

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies.

12:00 o'clock being equal to "0" is what I was missing.

And thank you Teethless mama for the code, it works great.

Greeting,

I have a spreadsheet where I need to high light rows which have a time
value of 0:00 in column B. Column B has many time figures and a few
empty cells. I am interested only in those cells with the value of
"0:00" (12:00 o'clock midnight)

How do I detect this time value in column B and what would a CF
formula look like to do this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
