Change the condition to 'equal to' and the value to "". Note I find that I
have to go back and change it from ="""""" which Excel does, to ="". -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) wrote in message oups.com... hi, how do i setup conditional formatting to reflect the following: - when cell is blank, change into red background i know how to setup "change into red background" but how do u specify when the cell is blank? |

Hi Jacky,
That depends on what you mean by 'blank'. Is it cells that simply appear blank (eg they could have formulae returning "", or perhaps spaces entered by users, or even zeros suppressed via Tools|Options|View), or is it cells with absolutely nothing in them? For the former, excluding suppressed zeros : =LEN(TRIM(A1))=0, For the former, including suppressed zeros : =OR(LEN(TRIM(A1))=0,A1=0) For the latter: =ISBLANK(A1) Cheers wrote in message oups.com... hi, how do i setup conditional formatting to reflect the following: - when cell is blank, change into red background i know how to setup "change into red background" but how do u specify when the cell is blank? |
