How do I format cells that have a zero for the tenth digit?

I meant to say that I want to do a conditional format on the selected cells
(highlight them some color).

assumed cell A1 has some value, if the tenth digit is 10 then cell
should be colored.

go to format | conditional formatting | condition 1: formula is: =FIND
("0",A1,10)=10 | choose color | ok

That didn't work. It kept giving me an error that I couldn't root cause.
One other thing - I'm looking for the tenth digit equalling zero, not 10.

Hi,

If the tenth digit is "10" then the tenth digit is "1" and the eleventh
digit in "0".

An additional point - 10th digit from the left counting or not counting
decimal points?


To conditionally format your cell(s): Assume the cell is C10 in the
following

In 2003:
1. Select the cells you want to format
2. Choose Format, Conditional Formatting
3. Choose Formula is from the first drop down
4. In the second box enter the formula:
=-MID(C10,10,1)=0
5. Click the Format button
6. Choose a color on the Patterns tab (or any available option)
7. Click OK twice.

In 2007:
1. Highlight all the cells on the rows you want formatted
2. Choose Home, Conditional Formatting, New Rule
3. Choose Use a formula to determine which cell to format
4. In the Format values where this formula is true enter the following
formula:
=-MID(C10,10,1)=0
5. Click the Format button and choose a format.
6. Click OK twice

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Shane

I found that =0 won't work whereas ="0" will.

I guess because we are using a text function?

Did you miss the minus sign in front of the MID function?

Select the cells then Format

CFFormula is: =MID(A1,10,1)="0"

Or if 0 is always last digit

=RIGHT(A1)="0"

Gord,

That did it. Thanks! Now is there a way to delete all of the cells that I
just highlighted?

If that is the only CF you have on the sheet hit F5SpecialConditional
FormatsOK

Hit the delete key.

When I do this it highlights all columns of data, not just the highlighted
cells.

Use a formula for the conditional formatting:

=AND(LEN(TRUNC(A1))=10,RIGHT(TRUNC(A1),1)="0")
