Ok, so I'm not sure if this is even possible. But it seems every time
I think that may be the case, another skilled Excel user on this forum
proves me wrong.

I'm trying to conditionally format a row.

Assume:

Row 1 contains data (some columns consisting of a 0 value or for
accounting it has the $ - to represent the 0 value)
Row 2 contains data

However,

Row 3 contains NO data

But then,
Row 4 contains data

I can get the row to conditionally format due to the value of one cell
(I basically condition it to do a no color and no border lines to make
for clean presentation). However, if you conditionally format the row,
the cells at 0 values, also follow that conditional format. While I'm
glad they the conditional format are working, I don't want the 0
values to follow it. Only the blank values.

I think my ultimate goal is to get the effect that Rows 1 and 2 are
grouped together as one group, skip a row and Row 4 begins a group and
so on.

Another thing I noticed with the conditional format is that it limits
you on the strength of the borders. It maximumally allows you to use
the default thin lines, when I may want a thicker line. Is there a way
around that?

Let me know guys.
 
Go figure, I just figured it out just now. However, my question still
begs to ask about the thicker border lines
 
Hi

Setting the borders in the way you want is easy enough, but there is not
a method of selecting a border weight.

Trying to apply a Weight of xlThick via a macro after the event doesn't
work, because the Conditional formatting takes precedence.

Perhaps you could use a different colour for the border to make it stand
out.
 
Roger,

Good idea on the different border color. I didn't think about that.
But it does help stand out more.
