Default Conditional Formatting contains?


is there any way to use conditional formating if a cell contains rather
than equals. For example highlight all cells that contain a 1 somewhere
in the number.

so all these would highlight

10009

59991

91100

Use a condition of Formula Is and a formula of

=ISNUMBER(FIND("1",A1))
