    Conditional Formatting - If cell blank on sheet 2 i want another cell on sheet 1 red

    Haven't posted in a long time...but here's my latest problem

    I have a workbook with two sheets (sheet1 and sheet2)

    On sheet 2, column A, row 1 i have dates:
    7/1/11
    7/2/11
    7/3/11
    etc
    etc

    all the way down to 12/31/11


    then on sheet 2, column B, i have am placing either the DATE we receive information for that date...for example, a client sends us their 7/1/11 information on 7/2/11, so the box to the right of 7/1/11 would say 7/2/11...make sense?

    however, if we dont receive anything for that client's date, i want initials put in the box proving nothing was sent

    so if on 7/3/11 we didnt receive anything, i would put BC in the box to the right

    my problem is though, if there is no date or no initials in the box to the right, i then want a corresponding box on sheet 1 to fill in RED

    if there is a date or initials in the box to the right, i want the corresponding box on sheet 1 to show up w/ those initials or date


    any assistance is great

    thanks

    You're welcome. Thanks for the rep.

    It always helps if there's a sample workbook to look at ;-)

    You're one of the few, in my recent experience, that has provided one without prompting.

    Regards
