Greetings, all -
I am creating a simple spreadsheet template to be distributed to users for data entry purposes. The first column contains the names of the desired data elements. The second column contains the definition for each data element. The definitions are formatted in red text. I intend for the user to remove the definition and replace it with the proper information for each element. For example: Data Element Definition 1.0 LastName The last name of the person to whom questions about the sample should be directed. The user would replace the definition with, say, "Smith" using the usual method for overwriting data in a cell (i.e. click'n'type). Once the definition has been overwritten and the user hits Enter, I would like for the font color to change from red to black. Here's the rub...this has to be done without macros or VB of any kind. I'm hoping to use Conditional Formatting combined with some native formula that I have yet to identify; something like the "IS" functions, perhaps? Alas, if only there was such a thing as ISNEW()... Ideas? tia, LeAnne |
