Visual Indicator if I've Overwritten a Cell with a Formula
I’m coming from Windows Excel where I could protect (lock) cells with formulas to prevent overwriting the formula.
In Numbers, I occasionally find myself doing exactly that, overwriting a cell’s formula. I tried some recommendations from the forum, such as dragging a column/row out of the table, locking the new table and overlapping it with the old table. While the technique works, in some cases it does not meet my needs.
I was curious if there is a way to use conditional formatting (or some other method) to highlight a cell if it does not contain a formula. So, if I had a formula in a cell and I accidentally overwrote the formula, I could get an immediate visual indications I made a mistake, this cell is supposed to have a formula, but it's been overwritten. I could then undo my mistake.
There are a number of conditional formatting rules, but I did not see one specifically for DOES or DOES NOT a contain formula.
Thank you
