Changing Cell color back to no-fill with Conditional Formatting rule

I have two rules in a sheet I have. Once that checks if a range of cell rows (7:446) in column D equal any of the values listed in column A of a sheet titled "required_refs". If the values in those rows do match the values in the separate sheet, it'll turn that cell to a red fill background. The cell with the red fill background will eventually get a value in it. I want to setup an additional rule that checks if the cells in those rows are blank, if they are not blank, turn that cells backgroun color BACK to a no-fill. As i have it set up now, those cells stay red.

The formula for the first Rule: =ISNUMBER(MATCH($D7:$D446,required_refs!$A:$A,0))
The formula for the second rule: =LEN($F$7:$F$446)<0 I've also tried: =ISBLANK($F$7:$F$446)=FALSE

Does anyone know of any adjustments I can make to get the cells in the F column that have values in them to return back to a no-fill background color? Thanks!

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
For the 2nd (blank) CF rule, just reference that specific cell, not range...
=$F7=""

Not that this...
=LEN($F$7:$F$446)<0
will always show error (and therefor not trigger the CF), because a cell cannot contain a string of <0
Also, unless you enter that as an ARRAY (which CF does for you anyway), LEN() expects a s9ingle cell, not a range
