Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi,

You need to use Conditional Formating. Click in the top left hand corner of the range you are interested in then drag down to the bottom right hand corner. On the Home Ribbon click 'Conditional Formating' select 'New Rule' then 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format', enter this code in the 'Format Values Where this formula is true' box: =$I2<>"" then set the format box as you wish and click Apply.

Hope this helps.
