Hey there, i am trying to highlight if a cell is blank, but don't want " " (a space) to be considered a blank cell.
I tried adding a ' before the space, and this doesn't work.

Any ideas?
isblank and not " "

You can just check for value of "" for blankl, or use the LEN function to check the length is 0, i.e,.
=LEN(A1)=0
