String Comparison & Conditional Formatting
I am wanting to colour a Sports Tipping results table according to the sports
result. I have a green font for getting it exactly right, a red strikethrough font for getting it exactly wrong, and would like a grey font for getting it partially correct. So, I need a formula to place in the conditional formatting dialog that compares cell A with cell B. If the 1st 5 letters of cell A equal the first 5 letters of cell B, then turn the font grey! Many thanks in advance for your assistance. Eddie |
