Conditional Format a single cell if others in same row are blank
I would like to apply conditional formatting to column A. 

I would like the text to change colour in any cell in column A where cells B to M are empty within the same row.

The cells I am checking for emptiness will only ever contain a number or an 'x'.

I tried to use the function ISBLANK but cannot get this to work over a range, only on a single cell.

Is this possible?

TIA
