I have many text strings. Some of them ended with specific substring
For example:

novotna
novak*ova*
sered*ova*
jouda

I would like to have cell to go ret color, when string ended t
substring "ova".
In my case, it match strings "novakova" and "seredova".

I think, that conditional formating of cell have to be use. I don
know, which wild-card have to be
use before substring "ova". I think, something like "*ova" ?

Thanks
Satuch

Hi satucha

In stead of "Cell Value Is" select "Formula is"

For Cell 'C4' use
=(RIGHT(C4;3)="ova")

Good luck,

Wouter

Hello, I was looking for something like this and ive just tried that an
it didn't work but if you change it to =(RIGHT(C4,3)="ova") then i
works.

Notice the semi colon has been changed.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction though!

Whether one uses a comma or a semicolon depends on the regional setting
of the computer.
