Format a cell based on value in another cell

**DivineLTG** · 06-10-2010, 11:12 AM

I am have been trying to figure out how to apply contitional formatting on one cell ONLY when another cell is not empty. So, if A1 contains data, then apply a red border around F1... If A1 is blank, then DO NOT apply any border to F1

Select F1 and invoke CF... then pick formula is from drop down and enter formula:

=A1<>""

then format.

I am so sorry, I left out a piece of information. A second condition that needs meeting before the border is applied. F1 also needs to be blank. So, if I enter data into A1, then F1 receives a border. But then once data is entered into F1, the border should go away.

Replace the formula I gave with:

=AND(A1<>"",F1="")
