    Require Cell colour change if alphabet change eg: D,N,R,S and SR

    Hi everyone, Can anyone assist me to resolve this:


    Require Cell colour(SINGLE CELL) change if I change alphabet eg: E,F,R,S and SD

    Note: I want it in a single formatting. I am aware of doing it individually for info.

    Thanks in advance

    Use Conditional formatting.

    Select the Home tab and then conditional format

    Select New Rule and then use formula to determine format

    Use this formula =RIGHT(A1,1)="E"

    Select Format, Fill and select your colour.

    Repeat for all letters.

    Thanks for the help,

    but can it be made for E,F,R,S and SD by single formatting ,rather than repeating for each letter?

    Re: Require Cell colour change if alphabet change eg: D,N,R,S and SR

    you could use
    =OR(RIGHT(A1,1)="E",RIGHT(A1,1)="F",RIGHT(A1,1)="R",RIGHT(A1,1)="S")
    BUT
    you have SD, which is 2 characters
    Are these the ONLY letters
    E,F,R,S and SD
    =OR(RIGHT(A1,1)="E",RIGHT(A1,1)="F",RIGHT(A1,1)="R",RIGHT(A1,1)="S",RIGHT(A1,2)="SD")

    so AD or anything else eding in D wont count

    Except your Title has SR
    and you also have R
    so would need a different formula, although Still ends in R so maybe OK

    I believe you could also use this shorter formula...
