Hi All,
The big green guy here, just wanted to let you all know that we now have the reputation system in place, the reputation system allows you to give a visible pat on the back to those that have helped you or whose information has been helpful.

You will see an icon in every post (Light Blue scales), click this to give the reputation point to whom you think deserves it, a green square appears for a reputation with more and more adding over time.Pretty soon you will see a string of green squares appear in the top right of your posts as your reputation grows and your forum presence!

Good Luck!
The Hulkster!

unable to leave cells blank if reference cell is blank
I’m having trouble with conditional formatting. If I leave column A empty I want column D to not auto fill. Right now it fills yellow based off the last rule I created in conditional formatting. I can’t seem to find the right formula to leave it blank. Thanks in advance for the help.

You may change the condition =A3=0 to =A3="" then move it up to top.

hmm...that seems to work up to row 8 then even though rows 8 & 9 have data in them they now show blank.

Look the file.
Perhaps You change =A3="" but Apply for D1:D238 instead of D3:D238
