基于数字和符号的条件格式

Question

This is an odd question. I have an issue I need to highlight a cell based on value, but it has a symbol in it and I cNt remove the symbol.

Value ranges are 1+ 3+ 5+ etc..

Need to highlight for each series higher than 1 but less than 3. Higher than 3 but less than 7. Etc...

Hope that makes sense. Thanks Casey

Answer 1

You should still be able to evaluate the number with the symbol after it, Excel should treat it as text where 1+ is still less than 3+ or 5+ is greather than 3+.

In your conditional formatting the rule would look something like this;

Cell Value <= $D$1

Where $D$1 is your selectable list which i'm assuming is possibly a validation list.

The format for the condition is whichever color you want it to highlight, and the Applies to part of the condition would be the range that you want to check against ie =$A:$A where all the 1+,3+,5+ numbers are.

This doesn't get you the whole answer but it should point you in the direction of setting your conditional formats.
