Hello, All
i am challenged in resolving the following problem I have and am hopefull that someone can help

in Column E I have specific text "tier 2" or "Tier 1" I would like to format the color column L if Column E = Tier 2 and the value in the corresponding cell in column L is blank.

below a example
Col E = tier 2 and Col L is blank then the cell for Col L must turn red
Col E = tier 1 and Col L is blank then stay unformatted.

any suggestions would be great and thank you in advance.

Hi All
i have entered the below conditional format (=E24="Indirect: 2-Tier") into cells L24 ~ 30 to test.

L24 is blank and E24= "Indirect: 2-Tier" and with the below formula the formatting works fine.

however in a cell L26 I do have a value entered and E26 =Indirect: 2-Tier and the formatting still works, I would like the cell to remain unchanged.

any suggestion on a formula that will help to overcome this?
