Default Conditional Formatting problem

I want to know if I can conditionally format cells in a column of data which
end with a full stop - i.e if this is a column of data I want to be able to
highlight...

blue. - highlight
Yellow
red. - highlight
black

green. - highlight

Any ideas?????

select the cells, and then use CF with Formula Is and a formula of

=RIGHT(A1,1)="."

format as required.

This assumes the data is column A, starting in A1
