Conditional formating -identify blank cell

[Simon Smith]

Looking for a way to indicate if a range of cells contains a blank cell.
Tried to use conditional formating to change A1 to a red font if any cell in
the range b1-z1 is blank. Can't seem to get conditional formatting to work,
any ideas?

Thanks

Try this for your Conditional Formatting formula in A1:

=COUNTIF(B1:Z1,"")>0

HTH,

Condition 1 Formula is =COUNTA($B1:$Z1)<>25

Select the format you want font = red

Hi!

Select cell A1
Goto Format>Conditional Formatting
Formula is: =COUNTBLANK(B1:Z1)
Click the Format button
Select the style(s) desired
OK out
