Apply conditional formatting to non-blank cells
I have a spreadsheet that is refreshed periodically and the data range
changes each time. I want to apply conditional formatting to non-blank cells in columns D, F and H. So I guess I need to identify the number of rows in the range and then loop through each cell in each of columns D, F and H and apply the formatting. How can I do this? Grateful for any help. |
Apply conditional formatting to non-blank cells
Why not apply conditional formatting to the whole lot?
For example: Format Conditional Formatting : 'Formual Is' ... then in the formula box put =NOT(ISBLANK(A1)) ... and set a colour. This will highlight the non-blank cells. Similarly: =ISBLANK(A1) ... can be used to highlight blank cells.

Thanks - found a solution. There are 3 condional formats and a default thus allowing 4 colours but if a cell is blank it has to be unformatted. Solution involved a For..Next loop and some if statements. Thanks "Andy Wiggins" wrote: Why not apply conditional formatting to the whole lot?
