Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
hello quick one is there a way to get only sequence of 4 highlighted cause if i put an x to the 5 one its stay higlighted 4 in a row but if they came 8 times in a row it's 2 sequences
Thanks

So to understand better -
# You want first 4 to be highlighted
# And then if next 4 are completed they also get highlighted
# It should not follow along with every new "x" you put

Can be done. I have to think a way out.

Please confirm above. Till then I think of some workable solution.

Yes but it will be another sequences
maybe we could add like a bold square every time a sequence of 4 is found ?
Thanks

Unable to work on that. It gives error with prevailing rules.
