    Format cells that only contain no blanks.

    Re: How to not condition empty cells

    Well there are a few basic approaches I would take...

    1) A higher-priority "dummy rule" that operates when cell = "" that imposes a mild format to differentiate between content-worthy formatting.

    2) Wrap the existing rules with another conditional, like,
    =AND(cell <> "", existing_rule)

    3) Change the rules so that errors aren't included in the test range.
