Conditional Formatting - Contains a Value??
(OP)
Hi,
I want to set up a conditional format, i currently have one setup as "equal to" but wish to change it to "Contains" but that doesn't appear to be an option in the drop down.
Can anyone help??
Thanks in Advance

=IF(ISERR(FIND("test",A1))=TRUE,FALSE(),TRUE())
Where you want to see if cell A1 contains "test"
The search function should also work, one is case sensitive, the other is not.

If all you need to know is whether or not the cell contains anything (text, number, formula) or if it is blank, then use the "formula is" option and type in the following formula:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1)=TRUE,FALSE(),TRUE())
