Automation: any change but blank
How do I specify that a cell value should change only if the trigger cell has changed to anything but blank. In this case there are 4 cells which can trigger the cell change. Currently I have it that if any of them change to any value that triggers a different cell change but I want that to occur for any value except a change to blank. I cannot set a condition that the cell is not blank because there are 4 different cells that could trigger the change and any other could be blank if it is not the trigger. Any ideas?

Hi @Alta,
You could set your conditions as OR for the 4 cells (add the extra cells and click on the "and" when you add the first one to change it to "or"):
If the different cells cause different outputs, then you would do something more like this with additional condition paths (selected by clicking the + button and selecting this option):
Hope this helps, but if you've any problems/questions then just post!
