Default Make row white unless the value of a certain cell is 0

But didn't the OP say that he wanted the *whole row* to be white if the
value in the one cell was zero?

An easy way to do this is to use Excel's normal number formatting.
Highlight
the cells containing the formulae and press CTRL+1. Set the format to
number
with however many decimal places you would want if a value was displayed
and
then click on Custom. You should see a format like

0.00

Now type a ; after this to create a negative number format and type the
same
format code but with a minus sign in front, e.g.

0.00;-0.00

Finally add a semicolon to the end of this to create a zero format but
don't
type anything after the final semicolon

0.00;-0.00;

You will now find any zero values disappear but positive and negative
values
will format as shown.

I have a massive list of formulas that arent in use untill the data is
typed
into certain boxes below them, I have a cell in each row with a value of
'0'
(untill edited) so what im asking is for the writing in that row to be
white
then when the value is changed to 0 it turns black, is this possible?
