Default Conditional Format cell appearance Excel 2007

If a cell is formatted as a number, and then if I am trying to do a conditional format to that cell, how do I get it to stop recognizing an empty cell as a number?

My condition is if F3<D3, the shade yellow.
If F3 is empty, it is shading yellow.

I really need lessons on conditional formatting.
I have a Min. Target and Max. in three differnt columns, with 31 columns of data to the right of that. I only want to shade cells that fall below the min. or above the Max.

I need to apply this to an entire sheet, and right now, all of the empty cells are getting shaded.



Thanks,
Gary

If I have understood correctly what you need, select G3:AI50 and use
Code:
=((TYPE(G3)<>2)*(G3<>""))*OR(G3<$D3,G3>$F3)
as CF. Format as needed
Some of your empty cells are null cells, but others are blank, which makes it a little awkward
