Default check cell


Hi snax500,

One way to ensure input is to have a formula which highlights when the
profit percentage hasn't been entered. This can be as "loud" as you
choose (using red colour, bold, large font, etc) and disappears when
the profit percentage is entered.

eg If sales are entered in C3 and Profit percentage is entered in C4,
then in say C5 you can enter:
=IF(C3="","",IF(C4="","*** Please enter Profit percentage ***",""))
Then format C5 with noticeable fonts.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can insure an input?
