Difference of empty cell and zero value when formatting
I'd like to conditionally format a cell if the value zero is entered into it,
however to leave the cell without formatting if the cell if empty. My attempts at doing so using something like formula is =q54=0 format the cell regardless of whether the cell has a zero or is empty! Appreciate any help...thanks! |

=AND(q54<"",q54=0) -- Jacob "Al" wrote: I'd like to conditionally format a cell if the value zero is entered into it, however to leave the cell without formatting if the cell if empty.

Works perfectly....so this is saying if the cell is not blank, and is equal
to zero, then true, so apply formatting, as apposed to if it is ony blank, which would produce a false? Brilliant...thank you, and so quick!

=q54=0 will return TRUE when q54 is either blank or zero..
