How to identify a cell without a formula
I have a worksheet set with = reference to a cell in another worksheet.
Conditional formatting is set to color the cell if the value is greater than 0. Is there a way to add to the conditional formating to the same cell that will color the cell a different color if the value is input and not from the formula? My goal is to identify cells that have had their formula overwritten with manual input. There are times a manual input needs to be entered and I need to visually see which cells are not based on a formula. I don't want to set protection on. |
One way is to setup your own UDF, like so
Function IsFormula(rng As Range) As Boolean If rng.Count 1 Then IsFormula = CVErr(xlErrValue) Else IsFormula = rng.HasFormula End If End Function test like so =IsFormula(A1) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Kevin" wrote in message ...

What's wrong with simply doing:
<F5, <Special Click "Formulas", Then <OK ? -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "Kevin" wrote in message ...

"Without a formula", wouldn't it be constants as opposed to formulas in step

Either way shows what he's looking for, but to be exact, I guess you're more
correct then I am.<g -- Regards, RD -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peo Sjoblom" wrote in message ...

with ISFORMULA in the same workbook, which is a requirement
of Conditional formatting. the C.F. Formula 1 might be =AND(A10,ISNUMBER(A1),ISFORMULA(A1)=False) The requirement of greater than 0 eliminates ragdyer's suggestion.
