    Cell formating - help please

    Help please!

    I have a drop down list in cell W3 which consists of:
    Blank field (before a selection is made)
    Quotation Required
    Order Parts
    Awaiting Parts
    Invoice
    Complete

    I would like cell E3 to change colour to red for all the options except the blank field and "Complete" whereby it will be white/no fill. I was given some help with this yesterday but I forgot to mention that there would be times when it is a blank field. As a result the code that was suggested meant that I had a red column where no data had been entered.

    Help is much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Fran

    ..Then try this option.


    =AND($W$3<>"Complete",$W$3<>"")
