I have used the following formula =AND(NOT(ISBLANK($A4)), ISBLANK($E4)blank. to conditionally format a blank cell, when a neighboring cell is not blank. It works as expected, however when I have tried to use the same formula on another sheet, the reverse happens. AR highlights instead of e4. A4 haS a name, & cell E4 has a date on the new sheet. any suggestions?
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
It sounds like the formula is OK but you have the wrong cell in the Applies To field. Go to Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules > This Worksheet and see what cell is under Applies To. It should be $A$4. I'm guessing you will see that it's $E$4.

Thanks for the assistance. It was a combination of what you said & trying to write the formula at he end of the day.
