I am using this custom formula for my sheet: =if(B2<((B$7/4)*$A2), 1, 0)
.
However, this also highlights the rest of the cells that are empty.
How do I exclude empty cells from this formula?

Use
=and(len(B2), ... )
where ... is your current condition. The length value of 0 corresponds to False; any positive value is True.A more explicit, but longer version is using
not(isblank(B2))
instead oflen(B2)
By the way, your construction
= if( condition, 1, 0)
is not necessary; simple= condition
works. E.g.,=B2<((B$7/4)*$A2)
is a valid formula returning True or False according to the condition.So, a complete formula would be
=and(len(B2), B2<((B$7/4)*$A2))
.
