Excel Formula

How can I do this...   I want instructional text in grey to appear in a cell until a user types in it.  When someone types in it the text becomes regular black.  If they delete what they typed it...

    If you are looking for something like to give user the help tip.

     

    then i suggest using the Data Validation Input Message and how it works is that when user hover the mouse over the cell or if they select the cell, it will show the text.

     

    i recorded a gif few second video that shows how you can do that.
