    Conditional Format If 1 Cell Blank and Another Has Text

    I need some conditional formatting for a column based on if a cell is blank but the cell before isn't. For example: H6 is blank but G6 has a value in it I would like to highlight H6. If it makes a difference all affected cells are currency format. Thanks for any help.

    Perfect and thanks for the quick response. Wasn't too sure how to use the 'AND'.
