    Have a cell highlight if text entered into another

    Hi all

    I've tried searching for a solution but I cannot seem to find exactly what I am looking for.

    I want to have a cell (G4) be highlighted, if a date (A4) is entered but nothing is entered into G4.

    Essentially, its to ensure when entering information that this one cell is not overlooked.

    TIA

    conditional formatting rule
    select G4
    formula
    =AND(G4="", A4<>"")
    should work
