Hello all,

I have the following in a single cell and want to highlight it red if any of the lines are over 65 Characters. The lines are separated by alt enter (line break).

This is a test!
This is another test!
This is a further test which happens to be over 65 characters in length!


Ideally, I need a formula to put into the conditional formatting section.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, EAG1

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Do you have the TEXTSPLIT function?

@Peter_SSs Yes I do and had been playing around with it but couldn't get it to work. Your formula works a treat. Thank you very much for the help.
