I want to change text colour if row in column is empty. I have this block but nothing changes. Any help?

The list block “…is empty” returns the value of true/false. This means that you don’t have to throw it into the green logic block. The blue list block performs the logic in itself And returns a value. Simply put the blue list block into the original if/then statement

If you set up your blocks in this manner, the platform assumes you mean. If true, then do what’s in the section below
