conditional formating??
i would like the word "need" to appear in cells that are blank. i can do
something similar with conditional formating where the blank cells turn red when empty... but i cant figure out how to have words inserted instead. Thanks |

You can't. Conditional Formatting can't insert text into a cell.

Press F5 (Go To) then click Special and select blanks. Type the word
"NEED" then press CTRL-ENTER rather than <enter. Hope this helps. Pete |

The only way is to use a macro.
Sub AAA() Dim Rng As Range On Error GoTo End_Macro For Each Rng In Range("A1:A10").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) '< change Rng.Value = "need" Next Rng End_Macro: End Sub -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Daveed" wrote in message ... is their an alternative way to achieve this, where a cell range if blank contains the word "need" "Chip Pearson" wrote: You can't.
