I am trying to sort special numbers in a long list of telephone numbers (7 digits). For example:
a. Highlight yellow those numbers which have 3 consecutive digits (eg 2281555). b. Highlightt blue those numbers which have two double numbers (eg 4431122). c. Highlight green those numbers which are in a certain sequence (eg 2281234). I tried to use Left, Right and Mid formulas but the game becomes very complicated and hard to troubleshoot. Any better solution? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
