Conditional formatting formula

[David Rose]

I want to format the font color in cell G82 by checking the value in cell
D82. The value in cell D82 can be either blank, CAER followed by digits or
COR followed by digits. The formulas I wrote are:

Condition 1: =D82="" ; red font
Condition 2: =D82="C*" ; green font

The wildcard doesn't work. What change do I make to the formula?

TIA
David

Try this for your second condition:

=LEFT(D82,1)="C"

Hope this helps.

Sure, works like a charm. Why didn't I think of that?
