first thanks to everyone who has tried to help my dumb self so far.

I have a spreadsheet for a warehouse that we call the truck matrix.

i would like to be able to change the color of a row based on content of a cell i.e. column b row 3 or B3. this is for the door number. i would like for it to change the fill color of row 3 to green if there is a number in the cell b3.

if there is nothing in there i would like to have it remain with the standard no color back fill

I have been able to get the color to change but it always changes if i have a number in there or not.

it is probably me and i am more than proficient in Excel but i apparently am blind to the solution.
