Testing Blank Conditional Formatting
I'm having a problem testing for a blank cell with conditional formatting.
I'm looping through a range of cells and when I get to a cell that I know should evaluate to TRUE for having met the conditional format it is returning false. The conditional format is when cell value is equal to blank (="") then format cell with fill color. cfStatus = testRange.Value = testRange.FormatConditions.Formula1 where testRange.value is blank and testRange.formatcondition.formula1 = "=""" I've reversed the conditions where the letter 'x' will meet the format conditions. In both cases the conditional formatting does what I want but when testing I keep getting FALSE as having met the condition. In the case of 'x' the testrange.value is "x" and the testrange.formatcond...formula1 shows "="x"" Am I missing something? -- MacGuy |
