HELP on conditional formatting
I have a problem below that need to use "len" function. How do you highlight all cells that have a two-letter string in yellow, for example, AB, BB with yellow color by using conditional formatting (Under Format menu). ABC BCA AB AA BB ACB ABC ABC BA CBA Thanks -- serene83 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ serene83's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35778 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=555902 |

HELP on conditional formatting
Assuming your data start in cell A2, select range A2:An (as necessary), in
Conditional formatting dialog choose formula as condition and enter this formula: =LEN(A2)=2 and set yellow color, then press OK!

No, when you highlight them all, as the first cell is A1, use
=LEN(A1)=2 -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "serene83" wrote in message ... I have try it but unable to get the desirable ans.
