Conditional Formatting Cells based on row type

[JanikSchaefer]

Hey Excel Community,

I have a blank table

And want to make it look like this:

Explanation:
Every cell that is empty is colored red except when the column Type is Ground, then it should be greyed out whenever it is empty.

I tried doing this by making a macro which was easy (dax filter and then color) but via conditional formatting (which is my goal here), I dont find a solution.



Is there a way I can use a formula like

IF(AND(ISEMPTY(Currentcell), ColumnB="Ground"), then:GREY, (else:) IF(ISEMPTY(Currentcell), then:RED)

In the conditional formatting formula?



Thanks for your help,

hope my question is clear.


Cheers,

Janik

You can't have IF/ELSE. You need two separate conditions, one for Blank and "Ground" and a second for Blank and not "Ground"

Hi TMS,

Thanks for your answer.

I understood, thank you for your help!

I used:

=AND(C2="", $B2="Ground")

=AND(C2="", $B2<>"Ground")

[TMS]

I used:

=AND(C2="", $B2="Ground")

=AND(C2="", $B2<>"Ground")

Of course, my mistake ... I knew column B had to be fixed
