Good Day Everyone!

Wanted to provide a CF for cell G11 to turn an interior red if and only if, if a value is entered into its row between H11: AJ11, when G11 is blank.


Currently I have:

Would like to see this CF applied here:

Also, I'd like for the CF of G11 from the interior red cell to go away when a value has been entered into its interior cell red, as in:

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
I'll give this a shot. Select the cell G11 and then select CF. Format fill color red. Write formula =IF(AND(H11:AJ11 >= 0,G11=""),1,0)

Likewise, if nothing is entered then:

Hi arthurz11,

It did not work for me....


What range should I apply it to?

Please let me know,

Thank you!

I wrote two samples of Conditional Formatting formulas. One in cell G1 and the other in cell G2. Hopefully, this is what you're looking for?

Hi arthurz11,

Using the formulas you supplied =

And here:


CF apture2.JPG



This is what I get:



CF apture3 .JPG



This is not right because it automatically highlights an interior red from H11:AJ11.

I would like G11 to be highlighted with an interior red when an entry has been made in the H11:AJ11 range if G11 is blank.

Does this make more sense?

Please let me know.

Thank you!

Assuming that G11 is actually blank, and not a null string, try this in conditional formatting for G11:
Excel Formula:
=AND(ISBLANK(G11),COUNTA(H11:AJ11)>=1)
If G11 is a null string, change
Excel Formula:
ISBLANK(G11)
to
Excel Formula:
G11=""
