In the conditional format formula, put something like this
=LEFT(A1,1)="W" Replace A1 with the cell address of interest. -- HTH, Barb Reinhardt "Jo" wrote: I want to format cells which START WITH the letter "W", regardless of what else is in the cell. |

Thank you Peo.
I entered it in conditional formatting but it didn't work. I tried both the 'cell value' and 'formula' options. How can I apply it?
