Hi There,
How do I get excel to automatically format the cell where no value has been entered?
I want to use the formula in conditional formatting but cannot get it to work...
As you can see, I have a button that populates the first 3 columns with data, then columns D:I are all required to have the information for populated rows.
I need the formula to look at the row and see if data in column A,B or C has been populated and then check corresponding cells in the same row and highlight the gaps in red where no data has been provided.

Hope this makes sense...

Thanks

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
What version of Excel are you using?
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Maybe
Excel Formula:
=AND(D3="",LEN($A3&$B3&$C3)>0)
