that cell. Conditional formatting not working for this.

Select the cell, say A1

FormatCFFormula is: =A1<""

Pick a color and OK.

Set the font, colour, etc of the cell when it will have data entered. Then go
to conditional formatting, set 'formula is' =A1="" then set the format to
automatic with no fill. where A1 is the cell.
