    Conditional format values in dropdown list?

    Hi,

    I have a dropdown validated list users must choose from.

    Is it possible to align text right or left on condition?
    i.e.: if "- Please Select -" align right; if any other value selected align left.

    Is it possible to decrease font size only for a particular choice in the list?

    Thanks!

    Hi xlepws,
    As i know conditional format can't do test alignment & font size.
    You can set Font Style, Underline, Color and Strike through;Highlighting, text border, icon

    Set cell for left align. For right aligning, set the CF format for Number to Custom using the following coding: #,##0* ;;;* @
