    Smile validation of a cell with specific character at a specific position

    I have a table containing data in two columns. one column contains data in each cell and each cell contains say 10 character long string e.g. AAPD2222A. I want to check that the string in each cell ends with an alpha. please suggest a way out.

    Thanks for the reply.
    But, there are some data which ends with special characters like *, ., # etc. If we use your formula for such data it returns FALSE. I want to find out all such cells where the data is ending other than numerical or special characters.
    Please advise.

    This will return TRUE if the last character is a>z or A>Z
