Hi,

You may try this.

1. Press Ctrl+F3 to get the Define Name box;
2. Type in a name there, say cellhasformula
3. In the Refers to box, type =GET.CELL(48,INDIRECT("rc",FALSE))
4. Now go to the first number of the range and in the "Formula Is" drop down
box, type the following formula =cellhasformula=FALSE
5. Select the desired formatting
6. Now copy down the conditional formatting

You will now see all the hard coded numbers in the desired formatting.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I have a large spreadsheet with formulae in multiple cells.
Occassionally under some circumstances I have to replace a formula
with manually entered data and I need to be able to automatically
highlight these cells as being different.
I have found out how to conditionally format a cell containing a
formula but can't make the adjsutment to format a cell that doesn't
contain a formula.
The code I found is:

Function IsFormula(cell_ref As Range)
IsFormula = cell_ref.HasFormula
End Function

Is it as simple as changing "HasFormula" to "doesnothaveformula"?

Thanks
Martin
