    Hi all!
    Attached is a sample workbook. Can someone please tell me how to create a formula for use by Conditional Formatting that would give the same results as the sample? I do not want to use VBA to accomplish it.
    If a cell is Blank or contains one of two preset numbers, the background is Pale Blue. Anything else would cause background to be Red.

    Thanks a Heap!
    Chuck

      Here are 2 ways:

      1) select F10:F18 and color them all blue
      format – conditional formatting –
      Formula is:
      =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(F10)),F10$C$3,F10$C$4)
      [Format} Patterns tab
      Choose Red
      [ok][ok]

      2) select F10:F18 and color them all Red
      format – conditional formatting –
      Formula is:
      =OR(ISBLANK(F10),F10=$C$3,F10=$C$4)
      [Format} Patterns tab
      Choose Blue
      [ok][ok]

        Steve,

        Thanks! I knew I had seen something like this before, but I am not very good at finding what I need when searching (I did try).

        Thanks again,
        Chuck
