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

You can modify the formula itself to return blanks....
OR (using conditional formatting) 1. Select the cell/Range 2. From menu FormatConditional Formatting 3. For Condition1Select 'Cell Value Is' and enter 0 4. Click Format ButtonFontColor select 'White' If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Josh" wrote: 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? |

Yes. Use conditional formatting, Formula Is (not Cell Value Is), $B2=0 or
whatever for your white condition. Note that the column reference needs to be absolute and the row reference relative. -- David Biddulph "Josh" wrote in message ...

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.

But didn't the OP say that he wanted the *whole row* to be white if the
value in the one cell was zero? -- David Biddulph "Andrea Jones" wrote in message ... An easy way to do this is to use Excel's normal number formatting.

Im not to sure how this site works but is it possible for someone to attach a
document with the formula in it, i find it very easy to read opposed to being told hah "Josh" wrote: 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? |

This isn't a site, this is a newsgroup, and it's not a binary newsgroup so
it will not accept attachments. I suggested a CF formula in my posting of 10:11 this morning. Have you tried the suggestion? -- David Biddulph "Josh" wrote in message ...
