Custom Formatting
I want to format a row to change background color if a cell in the row says
PD10/ 05. But it won't always say 05- how can I make a generic for that in an equation. I tried "pd10/ **" but it didn't like that. Is there a way to do this? -- Thanks, Nikki |

Thank you- I knew I had used something to do this before- I was just drawing
a blank. thanks again -- Thanks, Nikki "Gary''s Student" wrote: Use conditional formatting with equation is: =AND((LEN(A1)=8),(LEFT(A1,6)="PD10/ ")) This will be true if the first 6 characters match your pattern and the total length is 8 characters (which covers your ** condition) -- Gary's Student "Nikki" wrote: I want to format a row to change background color if a cell in the row says PD10/ 05.
