Conditional Formatting (IF not empty)

Question

How do I conditionally format a cell so if not blank it is grey?

I tried to do \'not equal\', but it didn\'t work.

I am using Windows Office 2003 with Wind

Answer 1

You can use Conditional formatting with the option "Formula Is". One possible formula is

=NOT(ISBLANK($B1))

Another possible formula is

=$B1<>""
