Conditional Formatting Need To Exclude Empty Cells?

May 14, 2013

I am trying to finish conditionally formatting a tracking spreadsheet. If column O contains a zero, I want the row highlighted. The problem I can't stop is the enpty cells are being treated as a zero. The formula I am using is =$O3=0 the range it applies to is =$A$#:$P$92

Conditional Formatting Of Empty Cells

Jun 27, 2012

Is there anyway to use conditional formatting to do the following:

If a cell has value and a cell below it doesn't have value, then highlight both cells. However, as soon as the blank cells are not blank, then both cells would clear the highlight.

In the example below, cells A1 and A2 on column A would be highlighted. Cells B3 and B4 on column B would be high lighted. Whenever cell A2 is filled in, then the highlight would clear. This logic would apply from column A through column Z.

Code:
A1 Description 1 B1 Description 8
A2 blank cell B2 Description 9
A3 Description 3 B3 Description 10
A4 Description 4 B4 blank cell

I tried using two conditional formatting (one to high light and one to clear) but doesn't seem to work.

Excel 2007 :: Conditional Formatting Empty Cells Based On Full Cells?

Nov 17, 2011

Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A

Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).

there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.

Conditional Formatting To Check If Adjacent Cells Are Empty?

Jul 18, 2014

I've got a list and I need to check if the adjacent cells for a column are empty or not, and if both are empty then format to a certain color. I have a solution but don't know how to implement it into a format fit for conditional formatting.

I have this in the new rule section of conditional formatting

=IF(AND(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I4,0,-1)),(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I4,0,1))),(ISBLANK(I4)=FALSE)),TRUE,FALSE)

If conditional formatting would allow it I would simply change I4 to the entire range, I am very much confused as to how to format this cell to work with conditional formatting. (I4 is the first cell in the list)

Something else is that if I change I4 to I5 or something then moves all the highlighted cells around, and to top it off the first few cells which should obviously be highlighted aren't, even though the rest of the cells which should be highlighted are.

Conditional Formatting Exclude 0?

Oct 8, 2009

I want to conditionally format the highest and lowest number in a range of numbers in a single column (Column C). The numbers in Column C are created by a formula that simply adds the data in the two cells in the same row of Columns A & B.

Numbers are entered into columns A & B daily. The column C formula has been filled into enough rows to complete the entire year. Since future days do not have numbers filled in for Columns A & B, Column C for those days results in a sum of 0.

I have set up conditional formatting for Column C so the cell of the highest number in filled in green. I want to conditionally format Column C so the cell with the lowest number is filled red, but it automatically fills all the cells for future days in Column C in red because the sum displayed there is 0.

Is there a way to exclude the 0 sum cells? The date is filled in as simple text, rather than formatted as a day. Is that the answer?

Exclude Empty Cells

May 3, 2009

I have this calculation which works fine if all cells have a value. But it will happen that cells in the range are empty.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT('Courses input'!C4:D6,1)-C3<=0), --(1*MID('Courses input'!C4:D6,3,1)>=2))/E3

What can i do to exclude empty cells in the range from calculation?

Advanced Filter: Exclude Blank/Empty Cells Criteria

Sep 11, 2006

Im using an advanced filter that uses the following criteria
Days Late Note(s) Note(s)
>90 <>*agreement* <>*QTR*

This shows all data over 90 that do not incl the words agreement or QTR in a column marked Note(s).

My problem is that I do not want to show records that are Null in the Note(s) column.

Note(s)
<> Does not work (possibly because it is text and not Numbers)

as this does work if used on records that contain numbers.

Conditional Formating :: Exclude N/A Cells From Calculations

Dec 4, 2006

I have a single column of data that is, perhaps, 100 rows long.

I have ticks, crosses and 'N/A' in various cells within this column. There are no cells that are blank.

I want to count the number of ticks within the column and want to be able to say:

If the number of ticks is = 100% then it's green.
If the number is >75% and <100% then it's amber.
If the number <75% then it's red.

I also want to exclude the N/A cells from the % calculation.

Conditional Formatting With Empty Cell

Jul 8, 2009

I want to use conditional formatting on a column ('A') to highlight cells that do not have a match with any cells in a specific range.

So I've made a range called 'AcceptedData', which contains a couple of cells with text.
Also included a blank cell in the range, since I do not want blank cells to be highlighted.

Then I used this conditional format forumla on column A.

=COUNTIF(AcceptedData;A1)=0

But it doesn't seem to work. The blank cells get highlighted.

A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers.

Conditional Formatting Of Cells

Jul 3, 2009

I want to add some colour conditional formatting to the cells in column C, dependent on their variance to the figure in column B. I've got the basic gist of applying the rule to the one single cell, but I'm not sure how to apply it to all the cells in the column. I have tried "dragging" it down, but it then just gives me the variance to the original row.

Reference Cells One To One In Conditional Formatting?

Jul 24, 2014

I'm using conditional formatting where one column of cells is referencing another column of cells. For example, I want cell K2 to highlight if the date entered doesn't match the date in F2. I then want cell K3 to highlight if the date entered doesn't match the date in F3. I want cell K4 to highlight if the date entered doesn't match the date in F4 and so on. I'm not having any issue putting conditional formatting on the cells/row references individually, but when I try to copy the formatting (by using format painter) to save time all of the cells in column K just reference the first cell in column F since the first cell in column K references that F cell but not any other F cell. How do I copy these row by row references between columns so that each reference is unique?

Use Conditional Formatting On Range Of Cells?

Jan 23, 2013

What I am trying to do, is apply conditional formatting to a range of cells (for example, A2:J2) based on whether the data in one of the cells (D2) contains "Yes" or "No". I would like the entire range of cells to be one color if D2 contains "Yes", and another color if D2 contains "No". If needed, this can be split into 2 different conditional formatting rules.

Conditional Formatting Cells That Contain Formulas - NO VBA?

Mar 28, 2013

I need to apply conditional formatting to cells in a column that contain formulas, or more accurately cells that do not. I have a spreadsheet with default values in a column based on a lookup function. I need to know if the user overwrites the default and cannot use UDF's or VBA. I don't think it's possible so my alternative is to include a hidden column that does the same lookup and do the conditional format off of a comparison.
