First, I think I would use two separate columns--one for the number and one for
the +.

But you can try this:
Select your range (I used A1:a15) and with A1 the activecell:
Format|Conditional formatting
Formula is:
=AND(--(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"+",""))=0,--(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"+",""))<3)
(and give it a blue format)

And add another formula:
=AND(--(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"+",""))=3,--(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"+",""))<7)
(and format it red)

The =substitute() replaces the + with "" (nothing) and the -- converts the text
(it's a string) to a real number.

Good afternoon everyone,

I have a column of figures such as ...

0
0+
1
1+
2
2+

3
3+
4
4+
5
5+
6
6+

... and I would like to conditionally format them RED for 0 to 2+ and
BLUE for 3 to 6+ please.
I used a formula to calculate these and then concatenate to get the +.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
