Hey Carly,
Use a formula rather than "Cell is" and just type
=isblank(F11) or your cell obviously.

Can anyone help?
I am trying to conditional format a blank cell to fill RED, can this be done?
I have tried cell value = "" but it doesn't like this!
Kind Regards

Thats brilliant thanks.
How can I now say if it has something in it (i.e. IsNotBllank)?
=NOT(ISBLANK(A1))

Thanks that's helped me a great deal!
or simplify to two statements rather than two functions:
=ISBLANK(A1)=TRUE
=ISBLANK(A1)=FALSE

Hi Carly:Originally Posted by Carly
in reference to using Cell Value Is
Cell Value Is equal to ="" did work for me!
chances are you had used:
Cell Value Is equal to "" that will not work.
This is helpfull
However i have a question on my conditional formatting
if cell value is between 1 and 2.4 colour = amber
if cell value is less than 1 colour = red
If the cell value is grater then 2.4 it has to be green
however if cell has no value in it it needs to be white.
Any help on that conditonal formatting please
Thanks
