Default Conditional Formating

Can you please help with a formula for conditional formating? What I have is
a spreadsheet and in one column there is either a yes, no, or blank. If the
field is yes then in the next field there should then be a date. I would like
to highlight the date field if it is blank.

Jacob I don't know what I am doing wrong but it is highlighting fields both
