I have a wksht where I want to have all blank cells auto color fill to
indicate data not yet rec'd/entered. Conitional formatting requires a value
be assigned - have tried to leave value as blank, and apply formatting, but
it doesn't work - there's got to be an easy answer and I'm just not seeing
it! Help - it's driving me nuts!!!

Use formula is

=A1=""

will work

OR cell value equal to =""

You are almost there!

for A1:

Format Conditional formatting... Formula is

=ISBLANK(A1) and set your special "blank cell format"

copy the format to any cell you like
