I'd like a macro to identify cells with only 4 characters (i.e. a yea
like 1989) and if the cell has only 4 characters, to make th
characters in the cell to the right of it bold red. For example, i
cell A29 is 1933, the characters in cell B29 should be in bold red.

Thanks for your help

Hi Sandeman,

Give a try to following :
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Cell As Range
Set Target = Range("A1:A50")
If Target Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
For Each Cell In Target
If Len(Cell.Value) = 4 Then
Cell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
If Len(Cell.Value) < 4 Then
Cell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
Next Cell
End If
End Sub
