Default =NOT(ISNUMBER(RIGH(V670,5)))

TRUE, but why are you using it? Why not skip the NOT and use ISTEXT instead?

This formula resolves to TRUE: =NOT(ISNUMBER(RIGH(V670,5)))

V670 is a string of numbers formatted as text.

As far as I can tell, ISNUMBER(RIGHT(V670,5)) resolves to FALSE
because the extracted string of characters is formatted as text.

Therefore the NOT portion forces the formula to resolve to TRUE
because it is TRUE that the string is NOT a number?

Does that sound accurate?
