Conditional Formatting based on referenced cell with a date
I have a spreadsheet to track orders placed and the PO's for each order. I want to highlight column B if the order hasn't been Rcv'd yet, so I created a conditional format formula of =IF($A$2:$A$40...
Thank you. But that will give me formatting for the cell if it is empty. What would be the formula to format the cell a different color (or no color) when I enter a date or txt into the cell?
The easiest way is to set the fill color of the cells directly. That color will be used when the conditional formatting rule is not applied, i.e. if column A is not empty.
- Yep, that worked!! I was making it more complicated than needed, lol. You're a genius. Thanks!
