Conditionally format a cell, or populate a cell based on the contents of another cell, if the 2nd if greater than 3.

Question

I have a six digit reference in one cell.

On the same worksheet I would like to format a cell if the 2nd digit of the number is greater than 3.

I don't mind using a lookup rather than a conditional format. Because, I ideally I would like to put a cross "x" in the box, or at the very least grey out the box with formatting, if the 2nd digit in the referenced cell is greater than 3.

Answer 1

You can do this with that Formula:

=0+Left(Right(A1;2);1) >3

Her You can see it gets True (Wahr) or False(Falsch) when the 2nd digit is greater then 3.

And you can Put that in the Conditionally formating Like this:

I Hope that can Help you

Answer 2

Let the reference be in cell A1. Put the following formula in B1 and apply conditional formating checking for >0:

=if(right(left(A1;2);1)*1;1;0)
