Test for LEN(c70)0 or even for a specific length if all your phone #s are
the same # of characters

The cell reference returns a phone number from a different sheet. If I
use
C700 in conditional formatting it formats even those that don't return a
phone number. I think this is because even if there is no phone number
returned, the cell still has a value in it because of the cell reference
formula.
