    Formula for cell=exact(left...&2)

    trying to make an equation for conditional format...?? where same cell has
    x2, need to test for Exact/ small "x",

    is this close, can't quite get: (where bj6 is 20)
    =T9=(EXACT(LEFT(T9,1),"x")&$BJ$6/10) comes up false for "x2", should be
    true.

    =EXACT(LEFT(T9,1),"x")&$BJ$6/10 gets a true2

    thanks.

    RE: Formula for cell=exact(left...&2)

    Since =(EXACT(LEFT(T9,1),"x")&$BJ$6/10) returns true2 and T9 = x2,
    =T9=(EXACT(LEFT(T9,1),"x")&$BJ$6/10) must return false beacuse the 2 values
    are not equal.

    If you you just want to check on the small "x" you must use :
    =EXACT(LEFT(T9,1),"x")

    If you want to check the concatenation of "x"& BJ6/10 then use

    =EXACT(T9;"x"&$BJ$6/10)

    Try this

    =AND(EXACT(LEFT(T9),"x"),--RIGHT(T9,LEN(T9)-1)=$BJ$6/10)

    Hi nastech,

    Perhaps
    =EXACT(LEFT(T9),"x")*$BJ$6/10>0

    Cheers

    Hi, thanks, will give that a try, was wondering what the double negative / 2
    minus signs do? thanks

    That is a double unary. The RIGHT function will return a string, so a single
    unary will convert it to a number, but a negative number, so the second
    reverts it back to positive.
