    Conditional formatting based on a blank cell and a cell with data.

    Hello,

    I am using this formula in conditional formatting, simple check if a cell is blank.

    =ISBLANK($K3)

    How can I modify this so it also checks that B3 has any value?

    I am looking to do this so I don't have it apply to cells that have not had data entered in as of yet.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    Nick

    Use this formula in the CF condition:

    =AND(ISBLANK($K3),$B3<>"")

    or slightly shorter:

    =AND($K3="",$B3<>"")

    Hope this helps.
