Default Conditional Formatting (Detecting Signs/Symbols)


I have a column of cells that have "<3.125", and the new rule I added via conditional formatting is to highlight values that are greater than or equal to 3.125. The values with "<" are highlighted, even though they shouldn't be. Is there any way I can fix this issue so that conditional formatting can detect the "<" without me having to change the values?

Perhaps try following CF ( adapt ranges as needed) =and(type(A1)=1,A1>=3.125)

Am I supposed to add the word 'type', or just ((A1)=1,A1>=3.125)"?

TYPE is an XL function, so yes, you need to type "TYPE". Look it up in XL's help to see what it does
