Default Conditional Formatting


I have some conditional formatting in column J on my worksheet that
checks if it is less than the value in column C. If so, the font color
is red. However, column C can also be blank sometimes and if I put a
value in column J, then it displays it in red font color, which I don't
want. Is there a way to add something to the conditional formatting
which will only display column J in red font if it is less than column
C and column C is not blank?

The only way I could reproduce your situation was by inserting a space in
Col C. You might want to check to see if there are spaces and nullify them,
or rewrite the conditional format with a second criteria (as criteria #1) to
read:
Formula Is =$C$1 (and set the font to Black).

Again this has to be the first criteria. Conditional Formatting can have 3
criteria, but will stops when it reaches the first True occurrance.
