Hello,
I would like to indicate in a cell at the beginning of a row whether multiple 'mandatory' cells within the row contain text. Red for incomplete, green for complete

So.. If B2,G2 and K2 contain text, A2 would colour green.

Thanks in advance

1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
3. select new rule, select use formula
4. enter =and(B2<>"",G2<>"",K2 <>"") format fill GREEN

For the other, you could create a new rule and reverse the rule (="" instead or <>"")
OR you could just regular format all cells to red, and let the CF rule change to green when they are filled in?
