    Highlight cells that are over 100 characters

    I need to highlight all of the cells in a worksheet that are greater than 100 characters, the highlight color doesn't matter. Does anyone have a simple formula or VBA macro to do this? Thanks in advance!

    Yes you can do this with conditional formatting. highlight the first cell you want to format, and go to conditional formatting. Make a new Rule. choose use a formula to determine which cells to format. in the format values where this formula is true type this formula

    This assumes you have chosen A1
    =IF(LEN(A1)>100,TRUE,FALSE)

    Then copy only formating to all other cells you would like to format
