Default Blank Cells - conditioning format


Trying to make a conditioning format formula to detect when the cell is
blank. I would use "=0" but the cells will have number imputs and
sometimes they would be zero.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

=ISBLANK(A1)

Sean,

If you are just inputting the numbers the =ISBLANK(A1) is fine but
A1 will not format if there is a formula in A1 even if the cell appears
blank as a result of the formula.
