Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    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 feel foolish now, I tried everything but leaving it blank, exactly what I was testing for.

    Thank you.
