    Change the font color of a specific character in a cell

    HI Experts,

    Is there a way to find a specific character in a pivot table cell (ex. "-") and change its font color. I'm only referring to changing that specific character and not the entire value in the cell.

    I hope I can use conditional formatting and not resort to VBA.


    Thank you,

    Benley

    I believe the only way is via VBA

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thanks for the link; however, I need to modify it to find the "-" in the string then change its color based on the background color of the cell
