Conditional Formatting to Show Red Highlight in Text Field
Hello. I have text values in column D that contain the word Saturday. I
need a conditional format that turns the cells red to use in column D to find those cells that contain Saturday. I think a formula can be used in conditional formatting but I am unsure what it can be. How can I do this? Thanks. |

Conditional Formatting to Show Red Highlight in Text Field
To clarify, you want all cells in column D that say "Saturday" to have red
background? Format-Condition Format, Cell value is equal to "Saturday". Choose red pattern. Or, if you wanted a corresponding column to change color Formula is: =D1="Saturday" and then pick pattern, and copy cell down as desired. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Daren" wrote: Hello.

Conditional Formatting to Show Red Highlight in Text Field
I tried that but it did not take, and I think that is due to the fact that
there are other words in the cell, such as The First (Saturday). Is there a way to get around this? Thanks.

Not totally...the cells in column D can also have other words in it, such as
The First (Saturday). I want the conditional format to show red whenever the word Saturday appears in the cell regardless of how many other different words there are. Do you know how to do this?

Hi,
I should also mention that if you are using 2007 there is a simplier way: Highlight the data and choose Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cell Rules, Text that Contains and enter Saturday. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Daren" wrote: I tried that but it did not take, and I think that is due to the fact that there are other words in the cell, such as The First (Saturday).

Hi,
One more comment - the difference between FIND and SEARCH with regards to your situation - FIND is case sensitive while SEARCH is not. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Daren" wrote: I tried that but it did not take, and I think that is due to the fact that there are other words in the cell, such as The First (Saturday).
