Excel - Conditional Formatting - Cell not blank and equals 0

Question

I'm trying to check if a cell is:

1. blank, and if false (not blank)

2. If value equals 0. I have tried:

   =IF( NOT( ISBLANK($D:$D) ) & $D:$D=0 ,TRUE,FALSE)

   =IF( AND( NOT( ISBLANK($D:$D) ),$D:$D=0) ,TRUE,FALSE)

I am use Excel 2013 with Conditional Formatting rule: Use a formula to determine which cells to format > Format values where this formula is true

What am I doing wrong? The problem is, the IF($D:$D=0) recognises cells with value 0 and those which are blank as true. I only want it to recognise 0 values. Not blank.

Answer 1

I think this is what you're looking for:

=AND(COUNTBLANK($D1)=0,$D1=0)

Note that when you apply it to the whole column, each cell will only look at its respective row. You'll want to keep the reference of $D1 instead of using $D:$D

Answer 2

You can also use this formula

=($D1<>"")*($D1=0)
