I have blanks in my column in the query and I am trying top use it in a conditional column.

 

What would the test be, it is not null as there is not a null in the column only a blank cell.

Here's what you can do:

 

Create a "Custom column" where custom colum formula =""

 

Then, reference the newly created, totally blank column in your conditional column setup and "Voila!"

 

Hope this helps!

 

Namaste.
