    Conditional format formula need to change font colour

    Hi all

    I am trying to insert a conditional format formula so that if there is no entry in a particular cell in column D then the relevant row format is font red and bold.

    i.e if D3 is empty or 0 then row 3:3 has the above format.

    I have tried inserting this CF formula =D3=0 then applying the format but not working.

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Si

    Try:

    =$D3=0
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    The $ makes the column D absolute (i.e. it freezes it) so that each cell in each row only looks at column D (within same row) only.

    If you don't have the $ there, then it looks at a relative reference to the cell.
