Click in C3, then, from the Menu Bar:
<Format <Conditional Formatting

Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is", and enter this formula:

=B1="3"

Then click on <Format
and choose whatever you like,
Then <OK <OK

The parenthesis around the 3 is necessary because your Substitute formula
returns a Text value, not a true number.

This formula in B1 is: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")
returns a number. (It removes a series of "dots" from the cell
contents in A1.)

Is it possible to have another cell C3 in that row become formatted,
if the contents of B1 are displaying the number 3?

So: A1 contains: " ............3" (without the quotes)
B1 displays the number 3
We'd like C3 to be bold, lets say, or purple if a 3 is displayed in
B1.

Thanks,
