formula:Help with conditional formatting.

[jorkka]

Hi.

I have a list of items and i need formula to format all cells that contain text that is between A000-X999, there is also other text on these cells, example

"A034 xxxxxx"
"D015 yyyyy"
and so on.

Could some help me out?

TIA.

I understand that a cell may contain more than just the A034. If the
A000-X999 is always the first text in the cell, use the LEFT function to pull
out the text you need.

=LEFT(A1,4)
