Conditional Formatting Q
Thanks everyone
"Trevor Shuttleworth" wrote in message ... Two ways to do this. Either modify the formula in B2 to: =IF(OR(A1="",A2=""),"",A1-A2) Or use Conditional Formatting with the condition: =OR(A1="",A2="") and just a simple A1-A2 formula Just be careful with the quotes, as Excel sometimes doubles them up for me. So, if you get something like ="OR(A1="""",A2="""")", you need to edit the formula I would suggest the formula is the simpler approach Regards Trevor "John" wrote in message ... I have 2 cells which I select entries from a drop-down (A1 and A2) B2 then does a simple subtraction of whats selected in A1 and A2 A user can select only A1 or A2, this would be incomplete thus I want in this instance to "blank" out the value returned in B2 i.e. with white font, as the result is not very meaning full How would I do this under conditional formatting in B2 I thought of something like this if(or(A1=" ",A2=" "), but don't think you can use "IF" in conditional formatting Thanks |
