Conditional Formatting in Microsoft Excel is
a great tool to get information from your data quickly and easily. But
sometimes as can see in the training video some additional things
happen which can confuse the user. The spreadsheet application,
however, has a good solution even to this interesting twist.
The question of the student was as follows: If cell value is <1.33,
then cell pattern(color) is red. The formatting works fine. But all the
blank cells are made red as well. How can I avoid the blank cells from
changing color?
Assuming that the data starts at cell A2, we apply the following
formual for the conditional format:
=AND(A2<>"",A2<1.33)
Here we are telling Microsoft Excel to format the cells which have a
value less than 1.33 and are
not empty. Only when both the criteria
are true the cells get highlighted correctly.
