I created a table by importing a cvs with 80 rows, 15 columns. All rows have Columns 1 - 5 pre filled with data.remaining columns / rows are blank/null/"" whatever. Column 6 is a string for a persons name and set to E 'Cannot be empty'. I want to change row/cell color when the cell in Column 6 is edited, should have a name added to it. I have tried every combination of operators and " " , null etc... but have not figured it out.
So how do I test for an empty, null cell with conditional formatting options to change cell / row color when 'not null'?
I could fill it with a known value to test against but if that value was deleted and cell is empty I am back to testing for a null / empty cell.
If a Predefined value(s) is set in Editing tab would cell be updated to that value if a value was enter by user the deleted by user. Example predefined value 'Open' User enters a name and submits edit, edits again and deletes name will cell value be 'Open' (Predefined value(s)?

Thanks for the help with such a simple issue.

Hi Ray
Thank you for reaching out to us.
You can leave the second field blank, you don't have to type in any specific criteria if you wish to set conditional formatting for empty cells
I hope this helps, do let me know if you need any further assistance.
I feel foolish now, I tried everything but leaving it blank, exactly what I was testing for.
Thank you.
You are most welcome
I'm glad we could help, please feel free to reach out to us if there is anything else we can assist you with.
