Hi,
yes put a border round the cell as normal then use conditional formatting - cell value is 0 (or use a formula to test if the cell isblank) & set the conditional format to no border -- -------------------------------------------- Please reward mine and others efforts - indicating whether our posts were helpful by clicking the buttons, ta "Adrian" wrote: Is there a way to utomatically remove boarder if there is no value in the cell and place a boarder i there is? |

Select the cell or cells you want this functionality on (if you select more
than one cell, note which one is the active cell) and click Format/Conditional Formatting in Excel's menu bar. On the dialog box that appears, select "Formula Is" from the first drop down and put this formula in the second field... =LEN(A1)0 NOTE: Change the A1 reference to the address of the cell (or, in the case of multiply selected cells, the address for the active cell). Next, click the Format button and then select the Border tab on the next dialog box that appears. Select the type of outlining you want (you can also select other format options from the other tabs if you wish) and then OK your way back to the worksheet. Whenever you enter something into that cell (or one of the cells from the multiple selection), the border option you picked will appear. Rick "Adrian" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your response Gord. I figured it out by a combination of all the
replies. All of them as a single comment where confusing but put together they made sense, thanks.
