how to check for ANY text when conditional formatting?
 
I just want to conditionally format the cell if there is ANYTHING written in
the cell. Can't figure it out!

Hi Heather

Your very welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
There are many days when I can stare at the screen and not see the
obvious!!!

Hi Roger,
That does work but I need to use it in a cell that has a formula in it.
Unfortunately it seems to see the formula as an entry. Any suggestions?
