Can Conditional format only look at part of the information without an exact match: Example I want all cells that contain the word CLOSED to turn RED. Some cells are listed as Closed - Relocated, others are Closed ect...

Thanks,

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
You could use the following "Formula Is" conditon...

=ISNUMBER(MATCH("*closed*",A1,0))

If "closed is always the 1st 6 characters you could also use...

=LEFT(A1,6)="closed"
