Default Changing the backcolor of a cell when data is added

I want to automatically change the colour of a cell in Excel when data is
added to that cell. For example: an empty cell has a blue backcolor when a
number is put into the cell the background automatically changes to white.

I would recommend a Conditional Format

Select the cells you want to colour
Selet Format | Conditional Formatting...
Cell value is | Equal to | =""
Select Format and choose a blue background.
OK
