somewhere in the cell. I can not figure it out. |

HI Stepha
Select the range you would like to format then go to FormatConditional Formatting change " Cell Value is " to " Formula is " next box copy this formula =OR(--(A2="mr"),OR(--(A2="sr"))). This formula assume that the first cell in your range is A2 change it to your needs then press Format and Pattern and choose your colour. HTH John "Stepha" wrote in message ...

I'm note quite sure what you are trying to do with your two OR functions and
the two double unary minuses, John, but why =OR(--(A2="mr"),OR(--(A2="sr"))) and not just =OR(A2="mr",A2="sr") ? -- David Biddulph John wrote: HI Stepha Select the range you would like to format then go to FormatConditional Formatting change " Cell Value is " to " Formula is " next box copy this formula =OR(--(A2="mr"),OR(--(A2="sr"))).
