Is there any way to black out a cell that has red text so it doesn't show the text at all? I figured there would be a way to put the black background on top of the text (essentially making it a black foreground,) but I can't find the option anywhere. If anyone has any suggestions I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Is the text red because of formatting, or is it actually that the font is red in the cell?

The text is red because of conditional formatting, and I reaaally don't want to have to edit that repeatedly.

Why not integrate the condition that makes the cell black into the conditional formatting?
