Hi everyone,

I created the following formula to put in conditional formatting (the cell number A7 is an example):

=ISNA(FORMULATEXT(A7))

Extended in a table of number, it will highlight the cells that do not contain a formula (i.e. figures that were entered manually).

However, if a part of the table where the conditional formatting is applied is blank, the cells will be highlighted... Is there a way to change the formula to NOT highlights blank cells?

Thanks in advance

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Try:
Code:
=AND(A7<>"",ISNA(FORMULATEXT(A7)))
