    Conditional formatting based on text values.

    Hi All,

    a bit stuck on this one;
    scenario: Column H needs to be formatted to green if the text in Column F does not equal "Dog". Dog could be either DOG, Dog or dog.

    I know how to get it done with only dog, but this one is a bit tricky.

    As always, thanks for your time.

    Select column H and go to Format|Conditional Formatting:

    Formula is: =$F1<>"Dog"

    format as desired
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
