Conditional Formatting
Hello, I have in Column A, 3 possibilities which have "General" format,
either (#), or (#.#) or (#.#.#). I would like to have this as Conditional Formatting: 1 - (Red, Bold) 1.1 - (Blue, Bold) 1.2 - (Blue, Bold) 1.1.1 - (Black, Normal) 2 - (Red, Bold) 2.1 - (Blue, Bold) and so on... How can I manage to put that into the conditional formatting? I tried using wildcard characters without success... thanks |

Conditional Formatting
Try this:
For first condition (bold red), use custom formula: =LEN($A1)=LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1,".","")) For second condition (bold blue), use custom formula: =LEN($A1)=LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1,".",""))+1 Third condition could probably be left out as default, but if needed use: =LEN($A1)=LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1,".",""))+2 HTH, Elkar "Ed" wrote: Hello, I have in Column A, 3 possibilities which have "General" format, either (#), or (#.#) or (#.#.#).
