    Colouring cell if any cells in its row are blank

    Hi All,

    Trust we are having a great day.

    Small problem i can not seem to get right. There is a bunch of data we have and if any of the cells are blank we need the cell in column E to turn Red

    I have a spreadsheet with data beginning on i = 3
    Data Range to look for blankcells is I to O

    Conditions to search the range:
    If cell in column P = "Active" then
    If cell in column H <> "Summer" then

    Any clues?

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    You would do this with Conditional Formatting.

    1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
    2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
    3. select new rule, select use formula
    Now, if the cells will truly be blank - as in empty, no formula, then you can probably use this as the rule
    4. enter =COUNTBLANK($A1:$F1)>0
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    Sadly i cant use conditional formatting as its with Office:Mac and there is no formula option.

    Also i need column E to return if finds blanks in range I:O

    Excel for Mac does have Conditional Formatting, a VERY quick google search turned up this link, among many others...

    Also i need column E to return if finds blanks in range I:O
    Then adjust the range
