Default Conditional Formatting to Show Red Highlight in Text Field

Hi,

I should also mention that if you are using 2007 there is a simplier way:

Highlight the data and choose Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cell
Rules, Text that Contains and enter Saturday.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,

I tried that but it did not take, and I think that is due to the fact that
there are other words in the cell, such as The First (Saturday). Is there a
way to get around this? Thanks.

What's wrong with a conditional format of:
Value is: Saturday
Format: red color
?

Hello. I have text values in column D that contain the word Saturday. I
need a conditional format that turns the cells red to use in column D to
find
those cells that contain Saturday. I think a formula can be used in
conditional formatting but I am unsure what it can be. How can I do this?
Thanks.
