    Conditional Formatting

    First post, hope i'm doing it right.
    I have a cell that I need highlighted yellow if it contains numbers or special characters and green if it only contains letters. I have tried everything I can think of and find elsewhere. Any ideas? Thanks.

    (please do not post pictures of worksheets)
    • Click Advanced (next to quick post),
    • Scroll down until you see "Manage Attachments",
    • Click that then select "add files" (top right corner).
    • Click "Select Files" find your file, click "open" click "upload"
    • Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.

    Re: Conditional Formatting

    Thanks for the reply, kvsrinivasamurthy. It seems like you have it set up to turn green if it contains any letters at all. I need it to turn yellow if it contains any numbers or special characters at all and green if it is only letters. Is that possible?
