Advanced Excel urgent help

I have conditional formatting rules applied to a workbook. When a user selects No in Row 1 for example, Row 2 and subsequent rows get grayed out. When user selects Yes in Row 1, Row 2 and subsequent rows have cells active. This part is working fine. The problem is when user selects No in Row 1, it also has text also appear as No in grayed Row 2 and subsequent grayed out rows. What conditional formatting can I apply to stop having text appear as No in the grayed out rows? I don't want any text appearing in these grayed out rows.

that's good idea and it does work. But is there an actual formula for this fix? What are the other fixes you mention?

It's not a formula. You just format the text in the cell the same shade of gray as the gray you are using to gray the row out.

For other fix approaches, I would need to see the formula(s) you are now using to gray the rows out. Not a description, the actual conditional formatting formulas and the cell formulas.
