Hello, everyone,
I am asking for a little help, is it possible with Conditional formatting to make the last cell containing text be colored red or some other color. I found examples, but there they are given if I search for a specific word. For example, I'm looking for House and if the word is there it can be colored, but in my example, things are dynamic and I only need it if there is random text OR the last occupied adjacent cell in the example E12 and F12 be colored.
Thank you in advance.

Hello, it works, but I didn't foresee that in column E I have formulas that take the text from another worksheet and I think from there with your formula it colors me, but the last cell, apparently reads the formulas. I didn't foresee that, or I'm wrong somewhere.

It should color cell F3, but either I'm mistaken or because of the formulas it "reads" wrong

in column E I have formulas
That's one reason 'Mini Sheet' is generally better to use than 'Table Only' with XL2BB. :)

Change the CF formula to
Excel Formula:
=AND(E2<>"",COUNTIF(E2:E$1000,"?*")=1)
