conditional format
Hi all,
How to do the conditional formatting if I want in A3:P200 the back ground color of a cell to be yellow if it contains JSO. Example, cells may look like ABC/DEF/JSO/HIJ in which case I want the back ground yellow. I tried a lot, but =$A$3="*JSO*" or =$A$3="*"$"JSO"&"*" etc. won't work. I use Excel 2k.

Hi
Try =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("jso",A1)) That will deal with both upper and lower and mixed case versions of JSO. If you want to be find JSO only, then change to FIND in place of SEARCH. -- Regards Roger Govier "Jack Sons" wrote in message ...
