Sorry viewers, I seem to have a lot of questions today...

In a range B12:I56, i want the users to only format cells, ie add a colour pattern to the cells if there is text in the cell. If the cell is blank then I want to prevent them from formatting

For additional information, the cells are formulated to return a value or a ""


Thank you

Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
